IP...``

I agree. This first ``test`` is a big step in substantiating EDIG`s decision to enforce its patents and begin the process of going after other infringers. Obviously digecor felt the need to try and protect itself from EDIG`s coming/pending claims for its IP.

Without success, digecor is beholden to EDIG.

This could prove to be the precedent that lines up future licensees.

Rather ballsy for digecor to try and rip off EDIG`s patent status...time for the courts to smack down the bully.

e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG), a leading innovator of proprietary secure digital video technology and products, and important technology in the use of flash memory in portable devices, announced it has requested the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) declare an interference between e.Digital’s U.S. Patent Application No. 10/938,060 and APS/digEcor U.S. Patent Application No. 10/657,822. The Company believes both patent applications are based upon proprietary security and encryption methods developed by e.Digital. The Company believes that these methods are used in the digEplayer 5500™.
