Netlist Expands Legal Action Against Samsung and Google for Infringement of New AI Memory Patents

Netlist, Inc. announced it has initiated new legal proceedings against Samsung in the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.These actions are based on the infringement of Netlist’s U.S. Patent Nos. 12,646,537 and 12,650,937, which respectively read on Samsung’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) products and Samsung’s DDR5 RDIMMs and MRDIMMs. The new ITC complaint names Google, Supermicro, Nvidia and Broadcom as additional respondents.

“Netlist continues to drive breakthrough innovations in AI memory. These enforcement actions expand our efforts to protect next-generation server DIMM and HBM technologies against unauthorized use,” said C.K. Hong, CEO, Netlist.

At the ITC, Netlist is seeking exclusion and cease and desist orders against Samsung and other respondents. The ITC investigates and makes determinations against unfair acts in the import trade that violate U.S. intellectual property rights. ITC investigations proceed on an expedited basis, commonly progressing to trial within a year.

Netlist is represented by Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox and Irell & Manella.
