The Chinese manufacturer of 3D NAND, Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), releases press releases very infrequently - no more than one or two per year. The more valuable it is to see something new from her, and she made us happy , but the expected news. The manufacturer of China's first 3D NAND memory designed and manufactured in China said the company's legal department, made up of young talent, has won three prestigious legal awards in the country.
The award took place on November 12, 2019 in Shanghai at the China Business Law Journal (CBLJ) summit. The department received one team and two individual awards for Outstanding Technology & Telecommunications Legal Team, Outstanding Technology & Telecommunications Legal Award, and Outstanding Legal Compliance Award.
YMTC does not hide the fact that entering the world market with Chinese products based on Chinese 3D NAND will be very difficult. In today's world, patent law is already very complicated. And China, moreover, is a country that constantly walks under the threat of certain sanctions from the βcivilized worldβ. YMTC will need some very sharp legal teeth to survive in the fight for its place in the sun. It is not enough to release, YMTC notes, one must be able to protect many years of efforts and labors.
Estimated , by the end of next year, YMTC will be able to produce 60 300mm wafers per month with 3D NAND TLC. This would be roughly equivalent to a 3% share of the global NAND flash market. The closest competitor to YMTC will be Intel with a market share of 8,7% (according to the results of the 3rd quarter of 2019). These are relatively small volumes, but they will already allow YMTC products to go beyond China and slowly accustom buyers to the fact that the Chinese in 3D NAND. For example, in the form of products under the Lexar brand manufactured by a Chinese company .
