Toshiba won a lawsuit against South Korean rival Hynix Semiconductor over patents for computer chips widely used in cell phones, digital cameras and portable music players.
The Tokyo District Court ruled Friday in favor of the Japanese electronics company, saying that Hynix Semiconductor Inc. had infringed on Toshiba Corp.'s patents related to NAND flash memory. The court ordered that sales of Hynix products found to be in violation be halted in Japan and ordered Hynix pay Toshiba 7.8 million yen ($67,000) in damages, Toshiba spokesman Makoto Yasuda said. In Seoul, Hynix, the world's second-largest memory chip maker after Samsung Electronics Co., said it will appeal the ruling.
