Kioxia Slapped with $229M Patent Verdict | Business and Finance News

A federal jury in Waco, Texas just handed Kioxia a $229 million verdict after finding they infringed on a Viasat patent tied to energy-efficient flash memory tech—used in satellites and storage devices. Viasat claims Kioxia copied their error-correction innovation, while Kioxia disputes the patent’s validity. This isn’t the first time Viasat has targeted major players: they’re also suing Western Digital over similar claims. Both companies remain silent on the ruling, leaving the door open for an appeal. The case underscores the high stakes of tech patents—and how fiercely companies guard their innovations in the data-driven world.
