Memory maker Rambus Inc. deceived a technology standards organization, resulting in harm to competition and competitors, according to a claim brought against the company by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Wednesday.
With RDRAM (Rambus Dynamic RAM) now firmly established as a niche memory product, DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) is set to become the most commonly used PC memory this year, with shipments of DDR chips soon to exceed those of low-end SDRAM chips.
A U.S. district court has set aside a jury verdict from the May trial of Rambus Inc., clearing the memory chip designer of allegations that it set standards relating to a technology used to accelerate memory chips, the company said last Friday.
