Netlist Seeks Import Ban on Micron Chips Used in Google, Nvidia AI Computing

Computer-memory company Netlist has filed a complaint at a U.S. trade tribunal seeking to block imports of Micron memory chips used in Google, Nvidia, and Broadcom products for AI computing.

The complaint alleges that Micron's chips and the tech giants' products infringe on two of Netlist's patents covering 'high bandwidth memory' technology.

Netlist has spent decades developing advanced memory technologies now used in rapidly expanding AI infrastructure,' said C.K. Hong, CEO of Netlist.

The company is seeking to bar imports of Micron dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and Google, Nvidia, and Broadcom graphics processing units, servers, and other products that incorporate Micron's infringing technology.
