7. "(a) they did not have the technical information sought by e.Digital, but that such
information may be available from third parties;"

e.Digital will have to hunt down the controller vendor....

As I noted in prior comments regarding patent 737...claims 4,6 & 7They're trying to get to the format details of the memory. If they unlock these details during phase 1 discovery process prior to the Markman hearing it's off to the races. if not, they have to discover them during phase 2 discovery process and then start over, including a Markman hearing. It's up to the court and the persuasions of defendants to streamline, or take the long route.

10. e.Digitals alternate to supplying specification details... Answer a list of questions " provided on May 21, 2010 and is attached as Exhibit C."

"That list of questions was provided on May 21, 2010 and is attached as Exhibit C. e.Digital believes that complete answers to this list of questions and or documents that disclose the information being sought would be sufficient for e.Digital to evaluate whether claims 4, 6, and 7 of the ‘737 Patent should be asserted in this case against any or all of the Defendants."

14. "In conclusion, the meet and confer process regarding the Defendants’ disclosure
of technical information and/or documents is on-going."

In a nut shell, they are not abiding.

What the court need understand is that the format structure of data is important to the escapement features(I/O)....it is also very important regarding ware leveling and bad bit marking.

How does the plaintiff make that point to the court?

It all starts with the format.

Thanks Silver....very good.
