So as to the patent litigation filed for the '087 patent involving HBM3 and HBM3e memory -

Netlist originally filed Case 2:25-cv-00553 against Samsung on 05/19/25. Then on 05/22, they asked for and received a dismissal of that case.

Netlist filed Case # 2:25-cv-00557 (Netlist V. Samsung) on 05/19/25 regarding the '087 patent.

Netlist filed Case # 2:25-cv-00558 (Netlist V. Micron) on 05/19/25 regarding the '087 patent.

Samsung filed Case # 1:25-cv-00626 (Samsung V. Netlist) on 05/20/25 regarding the '087 patent.

Usually, when the same two companies file suit about the same patent, the company filing earliest gets the nod as to where the case will be fought. This is known as the "first-to-file" rule.

Although it could change, it looks like - since Netlist filed earliest - the case will likely be heard by Gilstrap in ED Court of Texas.

It's likely that the reason Netlist waited until now to file the '087 patent litigation is that the USPTO only just approved the '087 patent on 05/20/25. Netlist applied for the patent in 2022.
