Rambus Files Antitrust Suit Against Memory Makers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the companies-based-upon-litigation-other-than-sco dept.

bender647 writes "Forbes reports: 'Chip designer Rambus sued several major computer memory makers Wednesday, claiming they illegally conspired to limit production and raise prices in an effort to block widespread adoption of Rambus' technology.' Rambus believes that RDRAM was not the success it should have been because chip makers did not want to pay their royalties."

    "Rambus believes that RDRAM was not the success it should have been because chip makers did not want to pay their royalties."

    Rambus stated its own failure, being the royalties; now they have to go around suing everyone for not using and not paying royalties?

    They should roll over and die, but I guess its always romantic to put up one final fight to the death...

    n a related story, I plan to file suit against all readers of Slashdot who did not by the DaHat SuperFoo as I feel that you are all conspiring against me and it to make it fail and that it has nothing to do with the fact that the price per SuperFoo is more then any of you would want to pay.

    Damn, he's on to us!
