Micron Technology Inc. has filed a new lawsuit against Rambus Inc., in apparent retaliation for a suit filed by Rambus last month.
On Jan. 13, Rambus filed a patent infringement suit against Micron. At the time, Rambus alleged that Micron infringed upon its DDR2, GDDR2 and GDDR3 patents, according to John Danforth, senior vice president and general counsel at Rambus.
Micron alleges in its suit that Rambus has, “engaged in a pattern of destruction of evidence, false testimony and other improper activities designed to mislead courts and Micron and to extract unjust patent licensing fees or damages from Micron."
The compliant, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, includes allegations that Rambus intentionally concealed information through false testimony and other means regarding the ownership of key Rambus patents asserted against Micron in patent suits. It alleges that Rambus violated sections of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and Virginia conspiracy laws through a pattern of illegal conduct.
Both Micron and Rambus are no strangers to patent battles.
