I am not able to speculate on the outcome of the re-exam. It probably wont be a "win" or "lose", but somewhere in between.

I do find the strategy on the 737 interview quite clever. Basically the way that flash memory was tested in the early 90s was to test each bit and see if you can write to it, if not then you would avoid this part of the memory. That is what the patent describes. Starting in the late 90s, flash memory was much more reliable, so this was no longer necessary, and you actually cant do this type of test because you cant assume the flash device is not shared among other devices, like cameras, phones, etc, where you would erase data that was nor yours to erase.

So it looks like E-Digital is going after the part of the patent that states when you insert a flash memory card into a device that "something" automatically happens. Maybe not an integrity test, but "something". "Something" always happens in todays devices when you plug in a memory card. So maybe E-Digital is trying to say, "We hold a patent on any automated process that may happen when you plug in a flash card".

They might be over-reaching, but heck, why not go for broke. Chances are probably small that they can get something so wide-reaching, but why not try.
