The DOJ’s investigation was triggered by price swings in 2001 and 2002. Separate from the DOJ investigation, Rambus alleges that an additional impact of these price manipulations was part of a deliberate program to keep Rambus’ products out of the memory market, thereby allowing memory chip makers to avoid paying Rambus license fees and royalties.
Rambus, with only $144 million in revenue last year, could seek more than $1 billion from the same memory players that have been singled out through the Department of Justice's price-fixing investigation. Infineon has been excluded from the collusion case because of a settlement deal with Rambus reached earlier this year.
