Lucas123 writes "Seagate has filed suit against STEC, claiming several of its products, including solid state disks and some DRAM devices, infringe as many as four of its patents. "A Seagate victory in the suit, or a settlement, could result in the company winning cross-licensing agreements and collecting royalties not only from STEC but also from other SSD makers such as Samsung Electronics and Intel Corp., or see them facing similar lawsuits, according to Jim Handy, an analyst at Objective Analysis." The royalties would become like a tax on SSDs and potentially other flash memory products, increasing prices to end users at a time when demand for SSD storage is exploding." Link to Original Source
