Samsung to make AMD, Nvidia chip parts at second Texas plant, Maeil Business reports

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has officially ended a patent infringement investigation involving Samsung Electronics and several prominent American technology firms, following a settlement reached between Samsung and U.S. chip maker Netlist, according to a federal notice released on Monday. The inquiry, which began in July amidst a complaint from Netlist, centered on various dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices, products incorporating them, and associated components.

Initial respondents in the case included Google, Nvidia Corp., Broadcom Inc., and Super Micro Computer Inc. Notably, Netlist and Samsung, along with their respective U.S. subsidiaries, jointly petitioned for the investigation's termination on August 18, citing a settlement agreement between the entities. Under the terms of their August agreement, Samsung committed to a five-year collaboration with Netlist to access the latter's patented technology.
