Memory subsystem vendor Netlist Inc. Tuesday responded to a patent infringement suit filed by rival Inphi Corp., saying through a statement that the suit is "without merit and will fail in court."
Analog IC vendor Inphi ((Westlake Village, Calif.) said Monday it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Netlist in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The suit alleges that Netlist's DDR3 registered memory modules, including their recently announced HyperCloud, infringe on two Inphi-held U.S. patents relating to memory interface technologies used in enterprise server and storage applications.
Netlist (Irvine, Calif.) filed a suit against Inphi in September alleging that Inphi's iMB line of isolation memory buffer ICs infringe a Netlist patent. Inphi said at that time it would defend itself against what it called a ''nuisance lawsuit."
"The products we are bringing to market, including HyperCloud memory, are important innovations, and they are based on our robust portfolio of intellectual property," said C.K. Hong, president and CEO of Netlist, in a statement issued Monday. "We will continue to vigorously assert our intellectual property against Inphi and any others that make unlawful use of our IP."
