e.Digital Corporation (OTCBB: EDIG), a leading innovator of dedicated portable entertainment systems and patented flash memory-related technology, today reported that it will request amendment of its patent US 5,491,774 in response to a rejection of certain claims from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) which was recently received. As is customary, e.Digital expects to incorporate modifications to certain rejected claims while leaving a majority of US 5,491,774 claims unchanged. The Company expects, but cannot assure, that the planned modifications will overcome the rejection and further believes the modifications could clarify and strengthen its ability to enforce future infringement of US 5,491,774.
