      Wow, is there a more German looking dude?

      “Suess is a professor and head of the Physics of Functional Materials department at the University of Vienna and MRT is his company.”

          His surname, Süss, means “sweet.” Deet Sweet.

    WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents

    So did they or didn’t they infringe? The article doesn’t say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.

    It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.

    Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it’s more likely that they’re simply lying through their teeth.
