SanDisk decided to sue 25 companies, claiming that they used SanDisk memory card intellectual properties while not owning a license for it.
Among those companies, key manufacturers are most likely the first targets of those legal actions: Dane-Elec, Corsair, PQI, Transcend, Verbatim..
It remains unclear which patents are included in this law suit, but one could think that it might well be the first sign of an opened war for taking control of SSD which are the normal evolution of today's memory cards.
