AMB couldn't sue MRT because the two bugs technically aren't the same at all.
What MRT have 'copied' is the signal that the bug transmits when it communicates with the loop - the unique ID. The mechanism by which it does that is entirely different however.
The best analogue is an MP3 recorder vs a tape dictaphone. Both record sound and play it back - but that is where the similarity ends.
Now the interesting bit here is that this means that the MRT bug needed just as much R&D to develop as the AMB one - more in fact because AMB designed the loop so have many specs already plus have patents MRT can't infringe, yet the MRT is cheaper. The big R&D costs for AMB were on designing the decoders.
