I feel strongly that digEcor illegally used EDIG's intellectual property to design the digEplayer XT and apparently the Court agrees.

From Doc 227:

However, it is clear that digEcor and two of the digEcor Suppliers (DeCuir, Inc. and Wolf Electronix) possessed e.Digital confidential information from the original digEplayer design. digEcor does not deny that e.Digital confidential information was transmitted to digEcor and two of its suppliers prior to the development of the digEplayer XT.

Defendant e.Digital identifies several specific facts supporting its belief that e.Digital confidential information was used in the development of the digEplayer XT.

Defendant e.Digital contends the following specific facts support its belief that its information may have been used in the development of the digEplayer XT:

(1) Mr. Hurst, a digEcor employee, discussed sharing schematics containing e.Digital proprietary information with Triad Engineering;

(2) e.Digital shared its “technical data package” with DeCuir, Inc. (developer of the digEplayer XT specification);

(3) meeting minutes drafted by Decuir representatives, and emails from them, discuss the usefulness of e.Digital information;

(4) the use of e.Digital design documents to adapt the digEplayer components to fit in digEcor’s next-generation video player; and

(5) e.Digital’s transmission to digEcor of documents that would have aided in the design of the digEplayer XT.
