Craig,

I am not sure you can judge a patent by its abstract. I suspect the CompactFlash assembly is protected by a number of interlinked patents rather than hinging on a single innovation. If you look at a CompactFlash product from SanDisk there are actually 4 patents listed on the back, none of which is the one being contested.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Craig,

The patent sounds pretty weak but probably enforceable.
A similar patent is the Slot 1 cartridge that Intel came up with after socket 7. The single edge cartridge design is pretty trivial and in and of itself not very novel, but it is still patentable and enforceable, just look at the fits it is giving AMD/Cyrix/ IDTI who are still shipping socket 7 parts.

Just my opinion.

Kash
