Inventor Files Section 337 Petition Against South Korean DRAM Chip Maker

An inventor formerly based in Pennsylvania requests a Tariff Act Section 337 ban on imports of dynamic random access memory devices by SK hynix that he says copy his patented designs. In a complaint filed Sept. 18, Wen Lin said SK hynix is importing and selling infringing DRAM devices in the form of an integrated circuit. Lin requests a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning import and sale of infringing DRAM devices by SK hynix. He pledges to donate any licensing fees stemming from the case to charity. The International Trade Commission seeks comments by Oct. 2, it said in Friday's Federal Register. SK hynix didn't comment.
