Handal & Associates, lead counsel to BDT AG ("BDT") in defense
of a pending International Trade Commission Investigation
instituted by Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVRL), has retained
Robert Long, the sole Inventor of Record of U.S. Patent No.
6,328,766, as a consulting expert. The '766 patent is one of the
patents asserted against BDT by Overland. Mr. Long, a co-founder of
Overland Data, has agreed to act as a consulting expert for BDT.
"It is unusual for an inventor to work in defense against a claim
that his patent is being infringed," said Anton Handal, Esq.,
counsel for BDT. "Ordinarily, the first person retained by a
plaintiff when initiating a patent infringement claim is the
inventor of the patent. We believe that Overland's claims are
without merit and are pleased to have Mr. Robert Long working with
us on this matter," Mr. Handal added.
The investigation was filed by Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:
OVRL) on October 19, 2010 in the International Trade Commission,
and is scheduled to be heard in August 2011. In its complaint,
Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVRL) accused seven companies of
infringing the '766 patent as well as its U.S. Patent No.
6,353,581. In November of 2010, the ITC initiated an investigation
into Overland's allegations that the sale of certain automated
media library devices infringes these patents.
