A federal jury in Texas has ruled against Samsung Electronics, ordering the tech giant to pay $118 million in damages to semiconductor manufacturing company Netlist.

The verdict stems from allegations that Samsung willfully infringed on Netlist’s patents related to high-performance memory technology, which is used in memory modules designed for cloud computing and data-intensive applications, as reported by Reuters.

Netlist asserted that its patented innovations improve memory efficiency and processing speed, giving it a competitive edge in advanced computing applications. The jury’s finding of willful infringement could lead to the damages being tripled, amplifying the impact of the decision.

This case adds to a series of significant legal victories for Netlist. Last year, the company secured a $303 million verdict against Samsung in a related patent dispute. Earlier this year, Netlist also won $445 million in a case against U.S.-based Micron Technology, underscoring its aggressive defense of intellectual property rights.

Samsung, however, disputed the validity of the patents and maintained that its technology operates differently. The company has filed a separate lawsuit in Delaware, accusing Netlist of failing to provide fair licensing terms for technologies tied to international standards.

Both companies have yet to release statements about the latest verdict. The ruling marks another development in the ongoing legal battles within the semiconductor industry, where disputes over cutting-edge technologies are increasingly common.
