Netlist seeks U.S. import ban on Micron AI memory chips

  • Netlist filed an ITC complaint seeking to block imports of Micron HBM products.
  • Micron's HBM3E, HBM4 and HBM4E chips are accused of infringing two patents.
  • Netlist's August ITC complaint against Micron is designated Investigation No. 337-TA-1523.

Netlist has filed a second U.S. International Trade Commission complaint against Micron Technology, seeking to bar imports of Micron high bandwidth memory products used in AI hardware and products from Google, Nvidia and Broadcom. The complaint targets Micron's HBM3E, HBM4 and HBM4E chips and alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 12,308,087 and 12,646,537. A successful ITC case could result in an exclusion order stopping imports of the accused products. The action follows Netlist's $445 million 2024 patent verdict against Micron and an earlier ITC complaint filed in August 2026, now designated Investigation No. 337-TA-1523. Micron separately sought a Delaware federal-court ruling on Aug. 10 that it does not infringe Netlist patents. Netlist also reached an August settlement with Samsung Electronics that could be worth up to $898 million and includes a cross-license agreement.
