That article is a little wacky. First, Toshiba already said that they would appeal. Second, the trial that was just completed wasn't about patents--that trial is coming up. The last trial was strictly about Toshiba's breaking their partnership and, allegedly, using trade secrets when doing so. And third, everyone already accepts that LEXR has some valuable patents (currently valuable, anyway). But I don't think that those patents are basic to all NAND, as the article appears to imply ("declared that certain architectural features used in NAND are covered by patents owned by NAND flash module manufacturer Lexar Media.").
