Netlist amends patent lawsuits against Samsung and Micron

Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: NLST) amended its patent infringement complaints against Samsung and Micron in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The company added U.S. Patent No. 10,025,731 to existing lawsuits that were originally filed on May 20, 2025.

The amended complaints now assert two patents against the defendants. The original lawsuits involved U.S. Patent No. 12,308,087, which covers high-bandwidth memory products used in AI computing applications. The newly added patent targets DDR5 DIMM products manufactured by Samsung and Micron, as well as their distributor Avnet Inc.

The HBM patent, titled "Memory Package Having Stacked Array Dies and Reduced Driver Load," will expire in November 2031. The DDR5 DIMM patent, which covers DFE and ODT/RTT circuits, will expire in July 2029.

According to the press release, analysts project U.S. HBM revenues to exceed $25 billion annually for each Samsung and Micron by 2031. For DDR5 DIMM revenue, analysts project U.S. market revenues to exceed $65 billion annually in 2029.

Netlist has obtained jury verdicts totaling $866 million in damages over the past two years for patent infringement by Samsung and Micron. The company is represented by Irell & Manella LLP, with Jason Sheasby leading the legal team.
