It has been named as a defendant in two tracked cases and has not appeared as a plaintiff. Both of these lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a frequent venue for patent litigation.
The two tracked cases are Palisade Technologies, LLP v. Micron Technology, Inc. et al., filed on October 16, 2024. In this litigation, Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. was named as a co-defendant alongside its parent company. The plaintiff, Palisade Technologies, LLP, is a patent assertion entity that accused Micron's memory and storage products of infringing several patents related to memory architecture and storage technology. According to case records and news reports, the parties reached a settlement, and the case was dismissed in January 2026.
