In a court case between Philips and SK Kassetten The Higher Regional Court of Hamburg in Germany ruled in favor of Philips, concluding that Veeza, the Philips system for CD-R discs is fully in line with German and European antitrust law. The Philips Veeza-system was introduced in 2006 to help the CD-R industry combat unfair competition from trade in unlicensed CD-R discs. Worldwide 18 companies have signed the Veeza Agreement.

About Veeza
The Veeza way of working makes it easier to sell licensed CD-R discs and more difficult to sell unlicensed discs. Discs distributed under a Veeza-license can easily be traced and recognized by three clear marks: a logo that is embedded in the disc, a serial number on each package carton and an authenticity document, called Licensed Status Confirmation Document (LSCD). These three marks provide simple proof that a shipment with CD-R discs is licensed under Philips’ patents.
