Submission + - Micron, Hynix Cleared in Rambus Anti-Trust Case (businessweek.com)
CR0WTR0B0T writes: After a three month trial and eight weeks of deliberation, the jury finally ruled on the Rambus vs. Micron and Hynix anti-trust case.
'A state court jury in San Francisco today by a 9-3 vote rejected Rambus's claims that Boise, Idaho-based Micron and Ichon, South Korea-based Hynix are liable for colluding to manipulate prices of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips in violation of California antitrust law.
Jurors also found, by the same vote, that the two companies aren't liable for plotting to interfere with Rambus's business relationship with Intel Corp. and driving the world's largest chipmaker away from their collaboration on RDRAM, or Rambus- designed memory, that began in the 1990s.'
