This technology enhanced memory module capacity by enabling multiple physical ranks of memory devices to present as fewer virtual ranks. This is critical for high-performance computing, cloud-based applications, and data-intensive operations. Netlist claimed that Samsung manufactured, used, sold, offered for sale, and imported DDR4 Load-Reduced Dual In-line Memory Modules (LRDIMMs) and DDR4 Registered Dual In-line Memory Modules (RDIMMs). These products employed the patented technology without authorization. Netlist further emphasized that Samsung knowingly engaged in these activities in the U.S. This occurred particularly in Texas, where Samsung operated facilities and conducted business through its subsidiaries.
