TOKYO - Hitachi Ltd. and SanDisk Corp. here today announced that they have renewed their existing patent cross-licensing agreement concerning flash-memory technology. Under the new agreement, SanDisk and Hitachi will be free to use each other's patents related to flash memories, with some exclusion of each company's proprietary technology. In addition, SanDisk will be guaranteed a portion of Hitachi's flash memory capacity. Other terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
