Samsung gets good news in Netlist patent battle by the US appeals court
Back in 2021, Netlist filed a suit against Samsung, claiming infringement of its patent related to memory module technologies for cloud servers. Later, the California district court ruled in favor of the Irvine, CA-based memory company.
In a recent development, the US appeals court has reversed a California federal judge’s ruling against Samsung in its legal fight over memory chip patent with Netlist, raising expectations that the company would earn favorable orders in similar legal battles.

Earlier, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the California district court was incorrect in granting Netlist a summary judgment that it properly terminated a joint development and patent license agreement over memory module technologies with Samsung Electronics.
The lower court’s original ruling could allow Netlist to collect additional royalties from the Korean tech giant, but the US appeals court has remanded to the district court to re-examine the case. The appeals court’s ruling could allow Samsung to gain the upper hand in other similar patent infringement disputes.
