Toshiba to Pay Micron $288 Million - Blu-ray Forum

Toshiba has agreed to pay $288 million to settle lawsuits between it and memory chipmaker Lexar Media, which was acquired by Micron Technology in June. Since 2002, Lexar has been engaged in a court battle with Toshiba regarding patent infringement of flash memory technology.

In exchange for the payment, Toshiba will receive licenses for all the patents held by Lexar. Lexar had filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission demanding that Toshiba stop importing flash memory chips into the United States, which could have proven disastrous for the number-two NAND memory maker. Samsung is currently the world's leading supplier of flash memory.

Toshiba - the HD DVD founder is in trouble.

When you come out of CEDIA and all HD-DVD has going for it is another round of clunky Toshiba players...overpriced, to boot...when do the stockholders (God help them) finally get enough of this MS/Toshiba vs. the rest of the world nonsense and start raising a ruckus?

I got to believe that's going to happen once the 4th quarter sales figures vs. BD start coming in.
