A former Seagate Technology employee says the company destroyed evidence related to a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Convolve, Inc.
"The whistle-blower, a former Seagate employee named Paul A. Galloway, has provided what is described as 'an eyewitness account' accusing Seagate of taking hard-drive technology from Convolve and incorporating it into its own products, according to documents filed recently with a federal court in Manhattan," write the NYT's Ashlee Vance and Diana B. Henriques.
"The nine-year-old patent infringement case alleges that Seagate misappropriated Convolve's Quick and Quiet technology, incorporating it as its own Sound Barrier Technology," writes Computerworld's Lucas Mearian. "Sound Barrier was originally used in Cheetah X15 hard drives in Compaq computers to make them run more smoothly and quietly. The software was developed using patented intellectual property under license by Convolve from MIT."
