$445 Million Verdict Upheld in Netlist vs. Micron Case

Netlist, Inc. announced the Court’s denial of Micron’s post-trial motions in Netlist v. Micron Technology, Inc., case no. 2:22-cv-294-JRG, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

The Court’s Memorandum Opinion and Orders denying Micron’s post-trial motions, combined with the Final Judgment entered in July 2024, bring this case to a close in the District Court. The Court has upheld the jury’s verdict and damages award in the May 2024 trial and that Micron willfully infringed Netlist’s patented technologies. The $445,000,000 award was granted as a reasonable royalty for Micron’s infringement of Netlist’s patents from April 2021 to May 2024 for the ‘912 patent and from August 2021 to May 2024 for the ‘417 patent.

C.K. Hong, Netlist’s CEO, said: “We are pleased with the Court rendering a final order closing out this case at the federal district court. The large dollar award for a limited past damages period highlights the significant value of Netlist’s IP. Netlist remains at the forefront of innovation in HBM and AI memory technologies and continues to expand its patent portfolio.“
