INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 5 Other Events
On July 23, 1997, Iomega Corporation ("Iomega") filed
civil action No. 97-466 in the United States District
Court in and for the District of Delaware against
SyQuest Technology Inc.
The lawsuit alleges that SyQuest has infringed
Iomega's Design Patent No. D378,518 and U.S. Patent
No. 5,644,444 by making and selling computer disk
cartridges and drives which embody alleged inventions
of those patents and that SyQuest has willfully
infringed Iomega's alleged trademark "JET". The
complaint requests money damages and a preliminary and
permanent injunction enjoining SyQuest from further
infringement.
The company believes that it does not infringe any
valid patent claims or trademarks of Iomega and
intends to vigorously defend against this action.
