New NPE Targets Server and Storage Vendors in a Second Campaign Involving ETRI Patents

Safe Storage filed six separate suits against Dell, Dot Hill Systems, Hitachi, HP, NetApp and Silicon Graphics alleging that the defendants’ RAID storage products infringe a patent related to the redundant interconnections. These are the first patent infringement suits filed by Safe Storage.  The patent-in-suit was issued to the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea and is exclusively licensed to Safe Storage. On the same day these complaints were filed, a presumably related entity, Infinite Data, filed suits against e-c0mmerce defendants over the use of data network products and alleging infringement of a patent that is also exclusively licensed from ETRI.  11/30, District of Delaware, 1:2012cv01624, 1:2012cv01625, 1:2012cv01626, 1:2012cv01627, 1:2012cv01628, 1:2012cv01629.
