Note on entity type: The record entry "Sanjay Mehrotra" is an individual inventor/executive, not a company. He is not an operating company or an NPE; the single tracked matter is a USPTO patent interference in which he appears as a named inventor-party.
Profile: Sanjay Mehrotra (b. 1958, Kanpur, India) is a semiconductor executive and named inventor. He co-founded SanDisk in 1988 with Eliyahou Harari and Jack Yuan, served as SanDisk president and CEO from 2011 until Western Digital's ~$16 billion acquisition in 2016, and has been president, CEO and chairman of Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) since 2017. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees from UC Berkeley and is credited with 70-plus patents in non-volatile memory. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2022.
Operating context (Micron Technology): Micron, founded October 5, 1978 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, designs and manufactures memory and storage: DRAM, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI accelerators, NAND and NOR flash, SSDs, managed NAND and multichip packages. It reports fiscal 2025 revenue of $37.4 billion and roughly 53,000 employees, and reports through four units (Cloud Memory, Core Data Center, Mobile and Client, Automotive and Embedded). Micron/SanDisk lineage aside, Mehrotra's litigation footprint here does not reflect Micron's corporate patent docket.
Litigation posture: The database shows 1 case as plaintiff, 0 as defendant — consistent with an inventor-party in a PTO interference rather than an active corporate litigant. There is no Eastern District of Texas patent campaign and no assertion activity.
Notable case: Eliyahou Harari et al. v. Shane C. Hollmer et al., Patent Interference No. 105,606 (BPAI), concerning Harari/Mehrotra's application 09/310,880 ("Multi-State EEPROM Read and Write Circuits and Techniques") against Hollmer and Cleveland's U.S. Patent 5,828,601. The dispute turned on incorporation-by-reference and § 120 priority. The Federal Circuit addressed it twice — Harari v. Hollmer, 602 F.3d 1348 (2010), and Hollmer v. Harari, 681 F.3d 1351 (2012), which reversed and remanded. The subject matter is SanDisk-era flash memory technology, predating Mehrotra's Micron tenure.
