Specifically this new action appears to be in regards to EDIG`s patent application vs digecor`s patent application. The patent portfolio is referenced below. However, acceptance of this new patent application brings this into the EDIG patent portfolio...which would likely further support future endeavors, imo.

Good to know EDIG was aware of digecor`s efforts to ``claim`` EDIG technology and looks to stop it. I would guess that`s a result of Pat Nunally`s efforts. He is on the ball.

e.Digital Corporation (OTC: EDIG), a leading innovator of proprietary secure digital video technology and products, and important technology in the use of flash memory in portable devices, announced it has requested the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) declare an interference between e.Digital’s U.S. Patent Application No. 10/938,060 and APS/digEcor U.S. Patent Application No. 10/657,822.

*******

e.Digital holds five flash memory-related patents (#5,491,774, #5,742,737, #5,787,445, #5,839,108, #5,842,170--The assignee name on four of the patents is Norris Communications, now known as e.Digital Corporation--The assignee name on the fifth patent is Comp General Corporation, a then-wholly owned subsidiary of Norris Communications).

“We have initiated the process of having the patents and claims independently evaluated,” concluded Blakeley. “When the evaluation process is completed, and with the assistance of an intellectual property management company, our strategy is to aggressively pursue licensing agreements with companies we believe have products utilizing e.Digital’s intellectual property.”
