IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NLST), announced the recent issuance of U.S. Patent No.
9,535,623 (the '623 patent) relating to memory modules capable of
handshaking with a memory controller of a host system. The
'623 patent is related to U.S. Patent No. 8,489,837, which is one
of six patents Netlist asserted last year against SK hynix RDIMM
and LRDIMM enterprise memory products in the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California.
The '623 patent covers various handshaking technologies that are
particularly effective when setting the proper timing for DDR4
RDIMM and LRDIMM memory modules, an important and difficult
challenge given the speed of the memory channel. The
technologies covered by the '837 and '623 patents, as well as many
other fundamental innovations were created by Netlist engineers in
the course of developing Netlist's innovative memory module
architectures. The industry adopted many of Netlist's
patented solutions years later as it struggled to address similar
technical challenges in DDR4 RDIMM and LRDIMM products.
"We are pleased that the U.S. Patent Office continues to
validate the ground-breaking nature of HyperCloud and the many
innovations developed by our engineers in the course of that
product development," said Noel
Whitley, Vice President of Intellectual Property (IP) and
Licensing of Netlist. "We remain focused on creating
innovative new products like HybriDIMM™ which leverage the IP
we have developed during the past decade."
