Please correct me, but wouldn't be the produced documents of Seagate are a free ticket for almost every litigation of TPL to whomever, if the defendant has the hard disks of Seagate in use?? So if we tell, let's say Audi, for example: "You have hard disks of Seagate in use - here are the documents which are affirmed by court, you have to pay." Audi would have absolutely no chance to say NO. Or am I wrong??

So if I am right and the court affirms the infringement of the hard disks of Seagate, there certainly will be a flood of new licenses. Moreover, if this is the strategy of Leckrone to accuse an assembler which has to have the documents produced by his supplier, this would be one of the smartest moves ever. Because we only have to "harvest" all the licenses from the other assemblers and if we have them all, we can license the producer.

Seagate is one of the biggest producers of hard disks and I bet a lot of companies use them. So I hope I am right :)

Looking forward to your comments
