MEMORY FIRM Sandisk said it has sued 25 firms for breaching patents it claims are its property.

It has also turned to the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to take action against firms importing allegedly infringing products.

Sandisk wants the ITC to exclude importation of products from the following firms:

ACP-EP Memory, A-Data, Apacer, Behavior Computer (d/b/a Emprex), Buffalo, Chipsbank, Corsair Memory, Dane-Elec,Edge, Imation/Memorex, Interactive Media (d/b/aKanguru), Kaser, Kingston, LG Electronics, Phison Electronics, PNY, PQI, Silicon Motion, Skymedi, Transcend, TSR (d/b/a T.One), USBest, Verbatim, Welldone Company, and Zotek/Zodata (d/b/a Huke).

It's suing these companies too in a Wisconsin district court over breaching five patents.

And in another Wisconsin case it's suing them for alleged infringement of another two patents it said it owns. µ
