The Supreme Court Monday rejected an appeal by Ritek Corp., Memorex Products Inc. and Pretec Electronics Corp. that aimed at reversing a July federal appeals court ruling that reinstated SanDisk's infringement suit.
The appeals court overturned a decision by a federal judge in California, who had granted motions to dismiss the case at different times in 2003 and 2004.
Ritek is a manufacturer of the flash memory devices. Pretec is a subsidiary of a privately owned Taiwanese manufacturer, while Memorex was a distributor.
In October 2001, SanDisk sued the three companies, saying they had infringed on a patent for flash memory technology.
A fourth company originally named in the suit, Power Quotient International Co., reached a settlement with SanDisk earlier.
