Lexar will also ask the Court for an injunction of Toshiba products that have been found to incorporate Lexar's trade secrets, including Toshiba's large and small block NAND flash chips, as well as Toshiba's CompactFlash, Secure Digital and xD Picture Card products and any other products that contain the same functionality covered by Lexar's trade secrets.
