FTC Rules Against Rambus

[PowerEngineer]

In a unanimous vote, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that Rambus used deceptive conduct "to distort a critical standard-setting process" for dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM. The memory-chip technology is used in computers, servers, printers and cameras.

"Through its successful strategy, Rambus was able to conceal its patents and patent applications until after the standards were adopted and the market was locked in," said the FTC, which charged Rambus in June 2002 with violating federal antitrust laws.

From the beginning of this fiasco, it definitley seemed like Rambus was acting at least sleazy, if not illegaly. I think there should be civil suits as well.
