Micron Ordered to Pay $445M to Netlist in Patent Infringement Case

A jury found Micron willfully infringed on two of Netlist's memory module patents, potentially tripling the damages.

The jury awarded $425 million for infringement of the '912 patent and $20 million for the '417 patent.
The '912 patent was previously invalidated by the US Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which may reduce the damages.
Netlist's attorney praised the jury's recognition of the company's innovation.
Micron plans to appeal the verdict, disputing the infringement claims and the validity of the patents.
Netlist previously won a $303 million verdict against Samsung for similar patent infringements.
