Lexar bid for Toshiba ban

Lexar has raised the stakes in its ongoing legal battle with Toshiba by calling for an all-out ban on its rival’s memory cards in the US. The drama stems from a 2005 court case in which Toshiba was found guilty of stealing Lexar's trade secrets. As a result, Lexar was awarded £259 million damages to Toshiba’s cost. According to BBC reports, Lexar has now gone one step further and asked the International Trade Commission to ban imports of all Toshiba-made chips and products that use them.
