Storage Computers, a New-Hampshire-based international provider
of data storage delivery systems, has lost its patent infringement
lawsuit against rival Hitachi. Storage filed the complaint earlier
this year, alleging that Hitachi Data Systems infringed two patents
held by its UK subsidiary.
The European patents covered computer hard disk error correction
technology. However, in a decision issued on 21st August, a judge
of the UK High Court in London found that neither patent was shown
to be valid in the UK or infringed by Hitachi.
Storage said in a statement that it will decide whether there is
a substantial basis for an appeal upon review of the full text of
the court decision.
