Subject: [Leica] Re: OT: Gloat - Carl Zeiss infringed on Nikon's patents

Perhaps CZ thought it was time for some belated
payback? ;-)

IIRC, Nippon Kogaku's relationship w/Mitsubishi dates
back to the old pre-WWII zaibatsu days.

"Read this press release:

http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/news/2004/0929_e.htm

Carl Zeiss infringed on several of Nikon's patents for
seminconductor 
lithography. Oops.  They're paying out $87million
dollars in 
restitution.

Maybe Nikon will come up with a full-frame rival to
the 1Ds Mk II after 
all!

Karen


p.s. I didn't know that Nikon was a subsidiary of the
Mitsubishi 
group. Interesting.
