MR Technologie of Germany
Wow, is there a more German looking dude?
“Suess is a professor and head of the Physics of Functional Materials department at the University of Vienna and MRT is his company.”
Dieter Suess
Now is the time for Fox in Socks to dance!
His surname, Süss, means “sweet.” Deet Sweet.
Oh Deutschland! You!
He’s likely Austrian. But yeah.
Öster-reich. Eastern kingdom. Or whatnot :)
WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents
So did they or didn’t they infringe? The article doesn’t say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.
It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.
Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it’s more likely that they’re simply lying through their teeth.
