Four manufacturers of black CD-R discs are prepping legal proceedings against Royal Philips Electronics over the Veeza licensing program. The four companies, CMC Magnetics, Ritek, Prodisc Technology and Daxon Technology accused Philips of imposing the "unreasonable and discriminating" Veeza licensing program upon them, according to a press release issued by the Taiwan Information Storage Association (TISA).
This makes it very difficult for the four companies to compete with the Chinese makers or MBI in several markets. The four companies will demand that Philips return paid royalty fees in excess of reasonable amounts and duly compensate for their lost business due to the discrimination of Veeza licensing.
