Sorry to say Datel will probably lose this lawsuit and end up paying
in the long run trying to prove they didn't participate in corporate
espionage. The xbox 360 is a proprietary piece of hardware like a
Nintendo Wii or a Sony PS3 and unless Datel was contracted by
Microsoft to produce their patented 1st party memory units then their
product is nothing more than a widget that just happens to work on an
xbox 360.
What will happen is Datel is going to end up with a counter-suit
claiming they reverse engineered MS intellectual property to make a
profit, which is the absolute truth. Nintendo went through this same
process with 3rd parties making memory units and other accessories
based on their official products for years. I don't know why Sony
hasn't come forward to protect their own line, but their last-place
status this generation suggests they don't want to bite the hand of
the mouth that might feed them next generation.
