The U.S. Patent Tribunal ruled five patents invalid. The 400 billion won reparations are gone. Samsung Electronics won a patent invalidation lawsuit with US semiconductor company Netlist.
According to foreign media and industry on the 3rd, the U.S. Patent Tribunal (PTAB) ruled in favor of Samsung Electronics on the 2nd (local time) in two patent invalidation lawsuits filed by Samsung Electronics.
All five patents that Netlist filed for patent infringement, including three that had already been judged invalid, were ruled invalid, and all grounds for the payment of the lawsuit in the Eastern District Court of Texas in April last year disappeared.
The lawsuit between Samsung Electronics and Netlist began in 2021 when Netlist filed a lawsuit claiming that memory technology used in Samsung's cloud computing servers violated its patents.
Netlist claimed that its technology improves the efficiency of memory modules, allowing them to derive useful information from large amounts of data in a short period of time, and that Samsung Electronics took the patented technology after collaborating on the project, while Samsung Electronics has countered that Netlist's patents are invalid and that its technology works differently from Netlist's.
In April last year, a U.S. jury found that Samsung Electronics violated five patents on Netlist, and in August of the same year, the court accepted the jury's verdict and ruled that Samsung Electronics should pay $303 million in compensation to Netlist.
Samsung Electronics filed a patent invalidation trial with the U.S. Patent Tribunal for five patents alleged to be infringed, and all five cases related to patent litigation, including the two cases, were declared invalid.
