FROM Another Board: NETLIST won that case after
Post# of 58
NETLIST won that case after Google engineers told the judge
that they had removed all offending modules.
The judge said great.
You would not mind a court ordered audit then.
He sent in a team to randomly select severs for audit and found Netlist IP
in them manufactured by a company called Metaram.
Google was found guilty of infringing on NLST IP .
The jury was about meet to declare damages on Google.
Google then challenged the validity of NLST 912 patent
Netlist and google agreed to a stay of the damages
until the patent was fully vetted by the USPTO.
That has been completed and
USPTO found in favor of NLST.
So the stay can be lifted and judge can assemble a jury
to determine a just award to NLST.
Or Google can come up with a figure on their own settle and avoid court.
Also be aware this has been a 10 year plus legal battle
in addition Google engineers lied to the judge
saying they had removed all offending modules.
I think lawyer costs fees should also be a factor in the settlement.
To support that effort shareholders had to endure going from 40 million shares to 140 plus million shares.
That is the situation the best of my knowledge
