EMC takes Hitachi to court

This time it's litigious...

Data storage systems company EMC has filed a lawsuit against Hitachi and Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) for infringing six of its software patents.

EMC filed the complaint with the International Trade Commission and the US District Court in Worcester, Massachusetts. It claimed it had spent the last four years trying to amicably settle the disagreement.

Hitachi and HDS are accused of breaching patents to EMC's data replication products, SRDF and Timefinder products.

An EMC spokesman accused Hitachi of infringing its products to overcome the market's natural preference for EMC products. EMC currently boasts a 30 per cent share of the data-storage software market compared to HDS' two per cent.
