SUNNYVALE, Calif.--SanDisk Corp. today announced a patent lawsuit against Micron Technology Inc., alleging that the Boise, Idaho-based memory maker was infringing upon a basic technology for flash storage systems. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, claiming that Micron was violating U.S. patent No. 6,149,316 covering "flash EEPROM system" technology. The U.S. patent was issued on Nov. 21, 2000, according to Sunnyvale-based SanDisk, which did not release details about its complaint or the damages being sought in the case. A response to the lawsuit was not immediately available from Micron.
