`RE: Maximum Transition Run (MTR) Codes for Data Storage Systems, University of Minnesota
`Docket No. 96025
`
`Dear Mr. Malek:
`
`Thank you for your letter; it provided the clarity that I needed. In your letter you asked three
`questions. Let me try to answer them for you.
`
`The first question is:
`a) Is this a technology that Seagate is interested in using?
`
`The MTR coding idea is something I expect to be a part of most future codes used in
`magnetic recording. Yes, Seagate is interested in the technology.
`
`The second and third questions are:
`b) Is this a technology you would like to see kept inside the consortium only?
`
`c) Is this a technology that Seagate would like to have exclusive rights to sub-license to other
`companies outside the consortium?
`
`Let me answer both of the questions by saying that Seagate's~ interest is to have royalty free
`access to the technology.
`
`Our business is to provide disc drives to the world, other activities such as sub-licensing would result
`in diverting rare and valuable talent away from the task of designing, building, and delivering disc
`drives.
`
`Seagate wants unrestricted access to the technology. How this technology is used by others is of no
`concern to Seagate.
