SanDisk Sues To Enforce Memory System Patents
SanDisk Corporation today announced the filing of three patent infringement actions against 25 companies that manufacture, sell and import USB flash drives, CompactFlash cards, multimedia cards, MP3/media players and/or other removable flash storage products. The companies include leading enthusiast brands Kingston Technology and Corsair Memory, which are two of the largest memory manufacturers in the world! It looks like this patent infringement is all about flash memory, but it’s interesting to see companies like OCZ Technology and Super Talent not being named.
The actions, filed in the United States District Court in the Western District of Wisconsin and in the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), allege that the defendants have infringed various SanDisk system-level patents, and seek damages and a permanent injunction in the federal court actions, as well as a permanent exclusion order from the ITC banning importation of the products into the United States.
