Rambus Inc, has filed an antitrust case and is seeking $1 billion in actual damages against Hynix , Infineon , Micron and Siemens AG. The case was filed today in the Superior Court of the State of California.
Rambus is alleging that these companies conspired to block the success of Rambus' RDRAM type of memory by restricting production of RDRAM, which those companies controlled, making it more expensive, among other allegations
The company is relying on evidence made public during the antitrust case against Rambus in its new lawsuit against the memory chipmakers.
"When certain members of the memory industry encouraged the FTC to bring its case against us, I always thought they opened up a Pandora's box," said John Danforth, senior vice president and general counsel for Rambus. "I'm fairly sure I would not have had access to this evidence if they had not pursed that case with the FTC."
The Rambus complaint alleges conspiracy to restrict output and fix prices; conspiracy to monopolize; intentional interference with prospective economic advantage; and unfair competition.
