Micron Uses the RICO Act on Rambus
Memory maker Micron has accused Rambus of foul play after being sued by the memory technology developer last month. In a lawsuit filed with the US District Court of Eastern Virginia, Micron claims Rambus ?engaged in a pattern of destruction of evidence, false testimony and other improper activities designed to mislead courts and Micron and to extract unjust patent licensing fees or damages from Micron". Looks like this battle will go on for some time!
The suit alleges that Rambus violated sections of the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and Virginia conspiracy laws through a "pattern of illegal conduct". Micron's allegation has been made before, by South Korean memory maker Hynix. Last year, it asked the Eastern Virginia District Court to throw out a patent infringement case brought against it by Rambus. It too alleged Rambus has messed with the evidence - a so-called "unclean hands" case.
