Tom's Hardware reports that Micron filed a lawsuit in Idaho accusing YMTC of poaching Micron engineers, obtaining NAND memory know-how from them, and using that information to build both its memory technology and a patent portfolio later used against Micron.

According to Tom's Hardware's account of the complaint, Micron alleges YMTC relied on patents granted to former Micron employees to accuse Micron of infringement in multiple jurisdictions.

Secondary reports from SiliconReport and LavX, each citing Tom's Hardware, say the Munich I Regional Court had already granted YMTC German utility-model injunctions affecting certain Micron 3D NAND products in Germany.
