LOS ALTOS, Calif., Nov 23, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that Judge Richard A. Kramer
of the San Francisco Superior Court has issued recommendations that the
Rambus antitrust case against certain memory manufacturers and the
Tessera Technologies antitrust case against Hynix be coordinated and
assigned to the San Francisco Superior Court.
"At the hearing regarding coordination on November 6, 2009, Judge Kramer
made clear that he would recommend coordination so long as it does not
delay the commencement of the Rambus antitrust jury trial on January 11,
2010," said Thomas Lavelle, senior vice president and general counsel of
Rambus. "Consistent with those statements, we are preparing to start our
trial in January and we look forward to confirmation from Judge Kramer
when he returns to court next week."
The Rambus case before the Honorable Judge Kramer was filed in 2004
alleging defendants Hynix, Micron and Samsung engaged in a concerted and
unlawful effort to eliminate competition and stifle innovation in the
market for computer memory technology and computer memory chips.
