Oct. 1--WASHINGTON -- Toshiba Corp. of Japan has lodged an additional patent infringement lawsuit against South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and its U.S. unit, claiming that they violated Toshiba's flash memory patents, informed sources said Friday.
The suit filed with the International Trade Commission, a quasi-judicial federal agency, calls for an injunction against imports of infringing products.
The action came after Toshiba filed similar lawsuits against Hynix both in Japan and the United States last November.
Toshiba signed a cross-licensing agreement with Hynix on semiconductor products in August 1996, but the accord expired at the end of 2002 after the two firms failed to iron out differences in talks to extend it.
