Toshiba charges Samsung with patent violations By Jack Robertson EBN April 23, 2002 (9:51 a.m. EST) eet.com Toshiba Corp. on Tuesday Tokyo time confirmed that it had filed suit against Samsung Electronics in the U.S. and Japan charging NAND flash memory and DRAM patent violations. A spokesman said Toshiba and Samsung previously had a cooperative agreement on NAND flash memory, which expired last year. The two companies were unable to settle on terms to renew the agreement, and the spokesman said Toshiba had no recourse but to file patent infringement suits against Samsung. At the same time, Toshiba also included charges in the same suits against Samsung for allegedly violating its DRAM patents. The suits were filed in district court in Tokyo and in the U.S. Federal District Court in New Jersey and with the U.S. International Trade Commission. The ITC has lately become a hotbed of foreign companies suing each other to blockpossible imports of alleged offending devices into the U.S.
