Toshiba has filed an appeal to a higher court after it was granted a new trial in California in an ongoing legal dispute with Lexar Media Inc. over trade secrets for flash memory chips, the Japanese electronics maker said Tuesday. The Santa Clara County Superior Court last Friday ordered a new trial after Toshiba Corp. filed a motion to reconsider the court's Oct. 14 ruling that had ordered Toshiba and its U.S. subsidiary to pay Lexar $465.4 million. In that ruling, the court upheld a March jury verdict that said Toshiba stole Fremont, Calif.-based Lexar's trade secrets on flash-memory chips, which are used in portable music players, cell phones and other electronics products. Flash memory is a strategic technology for Toshiba.
