[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 909987, member: 746"] It was EMI's patent, written by Alan Blumlein that lapsed (or was not renewed) in 1957 and allowed Westrex to basically copy the concept and corner the market. They had for a while been negotiating with EMI to licence the technology, but EMI ignored their advances. Due to a bureaucratic bungle by the legal dept, the patent lapsed after 20 years. I read years ago that this error lost EMI some ?80 to ?200 million in missed income. DECCA "invented" FFRR in 1962 and even though it was basically the same techology, no-one appeared to notice [/QUOTE]
