ITC Exclusion Order Covers Toshiba Flash-Memory Device Importation

An International Trade Commission limited exclusion order bans import of Toshiba non-volatile memory devices that infringe patents held by Macronix, said Monday's Federal Register notice. The ITC opened a Trade Act Section 337 investigation in April 2017 on allegations Toshiba was manufacturing and importing memory cards, car navigation systems and other items that copy Macronix patented technologies. Toshiba didn’t comment.
