Court slaps sales ban on Micron products

US chipmaker Micron Technology Inc is caught in legal trouble in China, after a court issued a preliminary injunction, temporarily stopping it from selling parts of its products amid patent disputes.

According to a statement by Micron's rival United Microelectronics Corp, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court issued a preliminary injunction banning Micron from selling dozens of products in China, including dynamic random access memory and Nand flash memory-related products.

UMC and Micron are locked in patent disputes. As the legal case is still ongoing, the court declined to disclose further information, and the preliminary injunction is not available on its official website.
