Interesting! But what I heard is a different story.
When Sony first developed ATRAC, they "accidentally" included some technology which
was patented by Dolby Lab. So every MD unit bared the Dolby Lab trademark on it.
And for SDDS, which is based on ATRAC, might inherited the same technology and thus
included the dolby lab patent on it.
I remembered I read those on the Sony web site long ago, but forgot the exact link. If
you are looking into the details, please do a search on the sony web.
