DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Antitrust Division


Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Technologies for Advanced Holographic Data 
Storage

    Notice is hereby given that, on January 26, 2004, pursuant to 
section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Technologies for Advanced 
Holographic Data Storage has filed written notifications simultaneously 
with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing 
(1) The identities of the parties and (2) the nature and objectives of 
the venture. The notifications were filed for the purpose of invoking 
the ACT's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to 
actual damages under specified circumstances. Pursuant to section 6(b) 
of the Act, the identities of the parties are InPhase Technologies, 
Longmont, CO; and Displaytech Incorporated, Longmont, CO. The nature 
and objectives of the venture are to carry out a project of certain 
research and development tasks described in a proposal to the Advanced 
Technology Program of the National Institute of Standards and 
Technology relating to holographic data storage. The participants 
intend to develop and demonstrate higher-density optical data recording 
techniques, write heads integrating optical elements that reduce needed 
recording media dynamic range, data processing and encoding techniques 
for reduced error rates and higher efficiencies, and optical servo 
mechanisms for relaxed mechanical alignment tolerances of system 
components. In the final task of the project, the participants plan to 
demonstrate the integration of the advanced holographic data recording 
and recovery technologies developed under the project.

Dorothy B. Fountain,
Deputy Director of Operations, Antitrust Division.
