Netlist, Inc. v. Micron Technology, Inc.

Summary

The court affirmed the Board’s final written decisions finding all challenged claims of the two patents unpatentable as obvious. It held that substantial evidence supported the Board’s findings regarding motivation to combine the prior-art references, load-based grouping of array dies, and differently sized drivers, and that the Board adequately explained its conclusions under the Administrative Procedure Act. The court also rejected Netlist’s remaining arguments.
