Sept. 27, 1999--Lexar Media, a leading supplier of High Performance Digital Film(TM), today announced that United States District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer has granted Lexar's motion for a preliminary injunction against SanDisk(Nasdaq:SNDK - news) in a false advertising lawsuit (Lexar Media, Inc. v. SanDisk Corporation, Case No. C99-02463 CRB). The Court's ruling relates to a chart distributed by SanDisk, which contains claims that a SanDisk memory card product was faster than Lexar Media digital film memory cards in specific digital cameras. Judge Breyer described SanDisk's chart as false and deceptive, and ordered SanDisk to stop distributing the ``Capture Time Comparison'' chart. The Court's decision to grant the motion for preliminary injunction is a major win for Lexar Media.
