$NLST In the 1st Kingston case filed recently, I posted the negotiation history in a 3 part post (part 1 reposted below, part 2 & 3 on my feed Oct 17), where we saw the way Kingston handled things by blowing Netlist off and playing games, something that was been brewing for years with Netlist attempting to negotiate...worth a read!
In the new Complaint/suit filed today, there is a new addition to the negotiation history:
"On October 29, 2026, Netlist sent Kingston a letter to prompt Kingston to resume licensing discussions with Netlist. THE LETTER NOTIFIED KINGSTON OF THE SETTLEMENT WITH SAMSUNG AND MICRON, AND NOTED THAT “[T]HESE LICENSES CONFIRM THE VALUE OF OUR PORTFOLIO WHILE KINGSTON CONTINUES ITS WILLFUL INFRINGEMENT.” Netlist further wrote that “Netlist remains willing to engage in negotiations with Kingston for a license to all patents and pending applications in our portfolio”.....Kingston has refused to engage, forcing Netlist to file this Action to enforce its patent rights."
