Netlist, Inc. NLST, a leading provider of high performance and hybrid (DRAM to
Flash) memory solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets,
announced today that it has filed a First Amended Complaint in the
United States District Court for the Central District of California
in Santa Ana, California against Smart Modular Technologies, Inc.,
Smart Storage Systems, Inc., Smart Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and
Diablo Technologies, Inc (Diablo).
Among other things, Netlist's complaint alleges infringement of five
Netlist patents by the defendants, based in part on the recently
announced ULLtraDIMM memory module. Netlist's complaint also alleges
antitrust violations by Smart Modular and Smart Worldwide, contending
that Smart Modular procured a patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,250,295) with
blatant inequitable conduct at the US Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO), withheld the patent application leading to the patent from
relevant JEDEC committees for more than eight years, sought to
improperly enforce that patent against Netlist's JEDEC-compliant
HyperCloud(R) product by seeking a preliminary injunction, which was
denied by the Court, and made deceptive statements to the public
about its lawsuit against Netlist. Netlist's complaint also alleges
trade secret misappropriation and trademark infringement against
Diablo, claiming that Diablo misused Netlist trade secrets and the
HyperCloud(R) technology to create the ULLtraDIMM product and other
competing products.
