Yangtze Memory Technologies Strikes Back at Micron: Citing Inferior Products and Defamation in Pursuit of Market Dominance
YMTC has filed a third lawsuit against Micron, alleging a smear campaign to damage its market position. Accusations include Micron funding efforts to discredit YMTC through false rumors, particularly regarding backdoors in YMTC chips. YMTC seeks corrective advertising, damages, and profit disgorgement. This lawsuit follows YMTC’s 2023 patent infringement suit and Micron’s counterclaims, with a court order for Micron to produce confidential documents adding further complexity.
