Lexar Media expands relation with Sony : Lexar Media announced that it has expanded its licensing relationship with Sony. Under the agreement, Lexar has granted to Sony a license to Lexar's patents for Sony products not covered by the companies' existing cross-license agreement. This agreement builds on the relationship when Lexar and Sony signed a fundamental patent cross-license agreement under which Lexar gained the right to manufacture and sell the Memory Stick products. "As one of the first companies ever to work with NAND flash memory, with a heritage dating back to 1994, Lexar has some of the earliest patents on flash system design and performance," said Eric Whitaker, executive vice president and general counsel, Lexar.
