Eye-Fi CEO slams SD Association’s eerily similar Wireless SD card standard, says his IP is being violated — Engadget

Yuval Koren is not pleased. For those unaware, he’s the CEO of Eye-Fi, the company that has practically written the rules on embedding WiFi into SD cards. If you blinked last week, you probably missed the SD Association’s announcement that it had created a new Wireless LAN SD standard that would effectively give just about anyone the ability to add Eye-Fi abilities to their SD cards. As it turns out, Eye-Fi’s none too pleased about it, and Koren has gone so far as to publicly admit that the standard is seriously infringing upon highly valuable Eye-Fi technology. To quote: “As [the SDA's standard is] currently written, essential Eye-Fi patented technology would be violated by anyone implementing this draft specification.”
