Overland Storage (NASDAQ: OVRL), the trusted global provider of
effortless data management and data protection solutions across the
data lifecycle today announced an update in its patent infringement
litigation against BDT AG and BDT's subsidiaries.
Chief Administrative Law Judge Charles Bullock of the
International Trade Commission (ITC) has ordered the parties to
submit an updated schedule for Overland Storage's ITC litigation
against BDT. The order stems from Overland Storage's settlement
with IBM and Dell. Chief Judge Bullock ordered an updated schedule
after deciding to allow Overland and BDT to make arguments about
the impact of Overland Storage's settlement with IBM and Dell.
Judge Bullock's order recognizes that an extension of the deadline
for the Commission's ruling will be necessary to allow the parties
time to brief the issue. Per the Judge's order, the initial
determination date will be no later than close of business May 24,
2012.
"We believe that the judge's decision to allow the parties time
to brief the issue before he rules on the merits of the case will
strengthen Overland's position," said Sean Cunningham, lead counsel
for Overland Storage. "We remain confident that the judge's ruling
will be in favor of Overland," said Mr. Cunningham. In the ITC
litigation, Overland claims infringement of two of its United
States patents, numbers 6,328,766 and 6,353,581. These two patents
address fundamental improvements in virtual storage and media
access in the tape storage market.
Overland is represented in the lawsuit by San Diego and Palo
Alto-based lawyers from DLA Piper LLP (US), the world's largest
multi-national law firm.
