With a March court date looming, Ottawa’s Diablo Technologies has lost another legal battle against California-based Netlist.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied Diablo’s emergency motion Wednesday to stay a preliminary injunction blocking the company from providing flash memory storage solution manufacturer SanDisk with a chipset for its ULLltraDIMM solid-state drive.
The court will allow SanDisk to sell its existing inventory of ULLtraDIMMs that use chipsets purchased from Diablo before the Jan. 12 injunction. Under the ruling, SanDisk cannot buy any more chipsets from Diablo.
