IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2022 / Netlist, Inc. (OTCQB:NLST) today announced that, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the Court) issued an order granting Netlist's motion for summary judgement on intervening rights as to claim 16 of Netlist's U.S. 7,619,912 (‘912) patent.

As a result, Netlist's enforcement of claim 16 cannot be abridged, and may proceed unencumbered by Google's latest attempt to escape responsibility for their long history of using Netlist's intellectual property without permission. The ‘912's other claims were subject to intervening rights by the order, and they will continue to be asserted by Netlist under a narrower window of time for quantifying the harm caused by Google's acts.

C.K. Hong, Netlist's Chief Executive Officer, said, "This ruling stands as vindication of Netlist's rights in its decade-plus fight against Google. We now look forward to a complete discovery of Google's make and use of infringing products over this period, and bringing this case before a jury as soon as possible."

Netlist believes that the teachings of the '912 patent can be found in various DDR3 and DDR4 server DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Module) as well as future products that will be produced under the DDR5 server DIMM standards currently being established by the industry.

The Court set a case management conference for June 23, 2022 at 10 a.m. PT.
