18 On April 3rd, the camp led by Kingston and Qunlian obtained the documents of the United States ITC (International Trade Commission) winning the case, confirming that its flash memory products did not infringe the patents of SanDisk.
In addition to Kingston and Qunlian, other flash memory manufacturers such as Chuangjian, Rong Hui and Qingtai also won the patent infringement lawsuit, but they have not been confirmed by these manufacturers. To be sure, SanDisk's most advantageous patent umbrella has begun to fail, and the door of American market will be opened to global flash memory manufacturers again.
