SANDISK ISSUES STATEMENT ON LEXAR'S
OCTOBER 24 PRESS RELEASE
SUNNYVALE, CA, Oct. 24, 2000-SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK)
today issued the following statement in response Lexar Media's Oct. 23 press
release.
SanDisk believes Lexar is engaging in misrepresentation of the
rulings made by Judge Breyer of the U.S. District Court of Northern
California on several motions in the patent infringement lawsuit filed by
SanDisk against Lexar. For example in the order, the judge made the
following findings:
"The CFA (CompactFlash Association) did not have any written
regulations that could be interpreted as requiring SanDisk to disclose its
pending patent application. Accordingly, to the extent Lexar's claim is
based on the CFA's written regulations, its claim fails as a matter of law."
"No reasonable trier of fact could find that SanDisk violated the
written regulations of the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association)."
To properly set the record straight, SanDisk is hereby reproducing in its
entirety the Memorandum and Order issued Oct. 17, 2000 by Judge Breyer.
