FTC Pursues Rambus Appeal To Supreme Court

Posted by kdawson on from the acting-like-regulators dept.

pheede writes "SCOTUSblog brings us news that the FTC has appealed the recent circuit court decision regarding Rambus's deceptive conduct on the JEDEC standards committee, where they conveniently avoided telling anyone that they owned patents on the resulting standards. The FTC, which is proceeding on its own without help from the Justice Department, notes the circuit court's 'sweeping rules that would immunize' deceptive conduct by would-be monopolists 'in most circumstances.'"

    Hasn't anyone noticed that the more government controls the economy the more monopolies get formed? And still we press for more regulation do overthrow the government-created monopolies. Seriously, deregulate the economy and make it monopoly free.
