Contextual Information on Related Litigation:

Netlist, Inc. has been actively involved in a series of patent infringement lawsuits against major technology companies, asserting various patents from its portfolio. Notable legal battles have been waged against Samsung, Google, and Micron, resulting in substantial verdicts in Netlist's favor.

While not all of these cases explicitly list U.S. Patent No. 9,824,035, the litigation landscape demonstrates Netlist's vigorous enforcement of its intellectual property rights in the area of memory module technology. The '912 patent is another frequently litigated patent by Netlist. There have also been disputes regarding a joint development and license agreement between Netlist and Samsung, which has led to breach of contract claims and subsequent patent infringement lawsuits. These broader legal conflicts provide the context for the specific actions involving U.S. Patent No. 9,824,035.
