Netlist seeks ITC ban on Micron memory imports over HBM patents

Netlist filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission seeking to block imports of Micron's high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI products from Google, Nvidia, and Broadcom, alleging infringement of two patents. The move escalates a patent dispute in a critical AI supply chain, potentially disrupting U.S. AI hardware imports if the ITC issues an exclusion order. The outcome is uncertain, as ITC investigations typically take months and settlements are common.
