Prodisc and Ritek Being Sued By Taiyo Yuden
December 11th, 2007
Taiyo Yuden filed a patent suit in the United States against two Taiwanese makers of DVD discs for violation of manufacturing technology for DVD-R discs.
Taiyo Yuden filed a suit at a California district court against Prodisc Technology on Oct. 30 and Ritek on Nov. 21, Taiyo Yuden spokeswoman Rieko Kimoto said.
Taiyo Yuden said the two Taiwanese firms infringed three patents regarding the manufacturing process for recording functions of DVD-R and had refused to pay patent fees.
Kimoto said the company estimates the amount of damage to be several billions of yen, but declined to say how much it is seeking in the suits.

Administrator says,
I’m with you, although I do selfishly enjoy paying less for Ritek/Prodisc and getting TY quality.

Hopefully no impact on DVDR media pricing.
