Rambus Files Anti-Trust Lawsuit; Hynix Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, Micron Technology, Siemens AG cited as defendants
"From substantial written evidence already in the public record, we believe that these memory manufacturers colluded illegally, thereby limiting consumer choice and depriving our RDRAM products of the opportunity to compete fairly in the marketplace," said John Danforth, senior vice president and general counsel for Rambus. "While we cannot change the past, we have a duty to our stockholders to respond appropriately to this evidence, which we are doing today."
The 36-page complaint filed today relies in substantial part on evidence obtained through a Federal Trade Commission proceeding and asserts four causes of action:
- Conspiracy to restrict output and fix prices in violation of the Cartwright Act;
- Conspiracy to monopolize in violation of the Cartwright Act;
- Intentional interference with prospective economic advantage; and
- Unfair competition in violation of California Business and Professions Code Section 17200
