Netlist Escalates Patent War: New ITC Complaint Targets Micron's HBM Chips Used by Nvidia, Broadcom, Google
NLST has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $0.446 on light trading volume (0.4× avg).
Summary
Netlist filed a new ITC complaint against Micron, this time targeting high bandwidth memory (HBM) patents used in AI computing, and named Nvidia, Broadcom, and Google as customers. This is a separate action from last month's DRAM patent complaint, which the ITC voted to investigate last week. The new complaint seeks exclusion and cease-and-desist orders, potentially disrupting Micron's HBM supply to major AI players. Netlist recently lost an appeal in a different Micron patent case, so this filing signals continued aggressive enforcement. The outcome could materially affect Netlist's licensing revenue and Micron's AI memory business.
At the time of this announcement, NLST was trading at $5.61 on OTC in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.1B. The 52-week trading range was $0.45 to $7.00.
