According to the article, the patent was granted in March 2006 – so why wait over a year to file a lawsuit? Blu-ray has been in circulation for long time now.
I can't help but think that Target Technology is after some easy money, and Sony is an easy target right now.
Edit:
hmm… not sure now. Apparently TT has 2 other pending lawsuits regarding separate, but similar patents for use of alloys in optical disks.
Link to direct article – requires subscription, but found it posted somewhere else.
Case against Sony – Case number 1:2007cv00561 in Indiana Southern District Court.
Any lawyers here? Is this likely to have any effect on the format wars, or is it business as usual?
