Thanks Aus. I'm not well versed enough here to offer an opinion on the technology, but it sure looks like ERICY v. QCOM, with SNDK being QCOM. These things can sometimes be a rough ride, though. Cooters

re venue Delaware I havent checked this, but could it be that one or both are notionally headquartered there (on paper, not physically). (One reason I couldnt check is that a search of the Sandisk site for 'Delaware' gave no hits, and the Lexar web site is down [8am UK time]) Many US companies are registered there, because of laws to do with takeovers. A silicon valley based company that I worked for some years ago was registered there, and I recall the reason being a 'poison pill' defence that is apparently only legal in Delaware. It was to do with the company being able to issue large numbers of voting shares in the event of a hostile takeover, that effectively made it close to imossible for it to succeed. Maybe we have a lawyer here who can confirm? Tw
