Great iluminating DD in your post...You posted 35 u.s.c. 271(b) which reads:

"In a related area, 35 U.S.C. 271(b) provides remedies for the inducement of infringement, which is the act of instructing, directing, or advising a third party as to how to infringe a patent. For example, one cannot supply a kit of components, with instructions and the intent that the end users use it for assembly of an infringing product. As with contributory infringement, the activity induced must be a direct infringement. Also, the inducers must have more than knowledge of planned infringement, they must actively intend that result."...

In the words of my friend DISCHINO, "DATS WHAT I,M TALKIN ABOUT!" when I say the Samsung Lawyers got skinned by DM in the Famous Stips which were approved by the JUDGE...

Now they are admitting in their FILINGS that they were"...instructing, directing, or advising" their customers how to use the SD cards and thus infringe on EDIG patents.

DM by now has gone through couple of cases of Don Perinion Champagne (SP?) celebrating hos their strategy has paid off...Lol...Lol...
