FTC Dismisses Rambus Case

By David Fischer

On Thursday, the FTC formally dismissed its case against Rambus.  The press release, in its entirety, read:

The Federal Trade Commission has formally dismissed the complaint in the Rambus matter. ?While we remain disappointed by the decision of the Court of Appeals, we of course respect the Court?s opinion and will move forward,? said Richard A. Feinstein, Director of the Bureau of Competition. ?The standard-setting issues that were at the heart of this case remain important, both as a matter of antitrust policy, and in order to protect consumers, and we will remain vigilant in this area.?

That is three whole sentences for those you keeping track at home.

The order, and the other pleadings in the matter, can be found here.
