So did they or didn't they infringe? The article doesn't say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.
It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.
Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it's more likely that they're simply lying through their teeth.
