Arrow Little Old Lady Sues Blu-ray
The U.S. International Trade Commission is now launching an investigation into 30 companies which include Sony Corp, Matsushita (Panasonic), Nokia, Motorola, Lite-On, LG, Hitachi, Pioneer, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba and others on possible grounds of patent infringements related to Blu-ray disc technology.This isn't the first time a Blu-ray lawsuit has been filed, not will it likely be the last. We found it funny that Philips wasn't on the list, and happened to be a former employer of Gertrude's and who has established an endowed fund that is used to support the newly-created Philips Electronics Professorship in Columbia’s Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.

She sued Toshiba, too, as HD DVD also used the blue-violet laser. It's not just Blu-Ray.

Philips already settled.

The difference is that she can't ask Toshiba for a percentage of the profits. She would just get an invoice sent to her instead!

No, look at the context. They meant HD-DVD (the generic term) not the format, since they then went on to parenthetically cite examples.

It's a pet peeve of mine when people get it wrong.
