Sunday. A follow-up tonight to our story last October taking on Goliath. Bob Brown reported about a US company that has been in a legal duel with Japan's electronics industry. The battle is over a one-of-a-kind VCR.

To copy a videotape you need two VCRs. Why not put two VCRs in a single deck? Arizona entrepreneur Taron Dunlap came up with that idea. One push of a button starts the copying and to produce the deck Dunlap's company GoVideo needed the cooperation of Japan's electronics industry which had previously acquired the relevant US patents. But Dunlap says that Japan's top electronics firms conspired against him to keep his product off the market.

Suddenly we realized that a cartel of Japanese companies would say no to American business. So GoVideo sued under US antitrust laws. Before the case came to trial a Korean company agreed to make the unit putting the dual deck on the market. But this week after a jury trial in a US district court in Arizona GoVideo got nowhere with its suit against the Japanese.

The jury found that there was not enough evidence to prove a conspiracy. GoVideo says it will appeal the verdict. The product stays in the market. The company just won't get money from the Japanese unless it wins an appeal. We'll be right back.
