Memory chip maker Netlist has asked U.S. trade authorities for an import ban on Micron chips, targeting products used in AI computing systems built for Google and Nvidia. The move escalates a patent dispute between the two memory companies, and if granted it could disrupt supply chains for AI data center hardware. The case highlights how chip patent battles increasingly touch the booming AI infrastructure market.
