Calgary-based International Datashare Corporation (IDC) announces the results of a Summary Judgment related to a lawsuit between its Riley Electric Log unit and John S. Herold Inc. A federal court in Houston declared that Herold may not reproduce or re-market the Riley logs it had acquired for its libraries since 1995. This result grants protection to Riley for its 3 million US well logs.
