So it was Hitachi Global Storage Technologies that provided the intangible benefits not Western Digital?

I cannot open the pdf...what year was the document created?

WD acquired 90% of HGST in 2012. It was 7 years ago and it was not WD who provided the benefit.

The extract above does not indicate that WD have made any investment in 4DS nor does it provide any evidence of their positive attitude towards 4DS or the product through tangible or intangible contributions.

I am not doubting WD hope the product is a success but you have confused the intangible benefit allegedly derived from HGST with any derived from WD.

Can you quantify how much, if any, WD have contributed in real or tangible benefit?

WD are not a shareholder and I can find no evidence of any investment in 4DS?

I very much doubt that when WD acquired 90% of HGST in 2012, that intangible development benefit(s) derived by 4DS
was part of the discussion. Furthermore, I doubt it was even on the HGST balance sheet.

When was the JDV/ JDA between HGST and 4DS occurring?

WD acquired 100% of HGST (ie wholly owned). Seller (Hitachi) was left owning 10% of WD as a result of the shares it received from the deal.

TMT report from August 2017 estimated HGST’s development expenses at >US$15m at that time

WD has an option to enter into a non-exclusive licence
