A Quantum spokesperson said the company is declining to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit except to say that it is well-positioned to defend itself and will do so. The spokesperson also said Quantum is confident its customers will not be impacted.

A Qualstar spokesperson said the company had not yet been served papers, and so had no comment at this time.

Spectra Logic, in a statement, responded, "Spectra Logic is aware that Overland has filed lawsuits in the San Diego federal court accusing Spectra Logic and others of infringing two of its patents. ... Spectra Logic has a policy of respecting the legitimate patent rights of others and also a strong policy of aggressively defending itself against unwarranted charges of patent infringement. Overland has not previously notified Spectra Logic of any alleged patent infringement, and therefore Spectra Logic intends to study the newly filed lawsuit and to investigate Overland's contentions in light of the ITC's ruling."

PivotStor and Tandberg Data did not respond to requests for comment on the lawsuits by press time.
