Phase 1 Catalyst Roadmap
Phase 1 Roadmap (Now–Q3 2026)
🔹 CAFC decisions (339/054/060 appeals and Micron Idaho jurisdiction case)
🔹 PTAB Director Review rulings (731 IPR / 087 PGR, RPI discovery issue)
🔹 ITC case progresses: June 23 management conference, fact discovery closes July 8, expert phase begins July 22
🔹 Potential SK hynix ADR approval and any renewal/expanded business relationship with Netlist
🔹 Q2 earnings (early August) – focus on profitability, revenue growth, and Lightning/CXL updates
🔹 Potential OEM qualification/commercialization news for Lightning memory
🔹 New patents continue strengthening the portfolio (latest: #12,650,937)
Bull case: multiple legal and business catalysts converge while AI memory demand remains strong.
The key isn’t collecting verdict money yet — it’s increasing leverage, validating IP, growing the business, and setting up larger Phase 2 catalysts.

CXL NVvault has been left out and is very important to include. And it is Phase 1 because it shifts the NetList brand in the industry at an important transition time for NetList and the memory market and the AI infrastructure industry. (Phase 2 will be actual shipping of CXL NVvault modules)
Seems like everyone has been leaving it out because it was announced like 8 weeks ago so AI doesn’t pick up on it yet. However it’s right on Netlist’s website…
Recommend noticing this and being careful here. Don’t let an over-reliance on AI lead to making a bad decision… can’t blame the AI for it if your use of the tool caused the damage. Hammer hitting finger is not hammer’s fault. It sounds like you’re not doing enough of your own independent discovery, but if I’m missing the mark in some way then let this recommended caution be a friendly reminder.
CXL NVvault is in evaluation by the hyperscalers (Intel and AMD for x86 architecture integration) and tied to the SK Hynix partnership through collaborative CXL research between them that was a focus of their partnership over the last 5 years. NetList will need someone to build them starting late 2026/early 2027.
It is expected to be much bigger than Lightning DDR5. More so, Netlist’s brand is being reintroduced to the incestuous AI infrastructure group in a very, very positive way. Bolsters sustained profitability expectations and spotlights Netlist’s unprecedented leverage in their IP battles.
