A jury ruled in favor of Micron Technology today in an antitrust case. Rambus Incorporated brought the suit against Micron and Hynix Semiconductor. The Wall Street Journal reports Rambus accused the pair of conspiring to fix the price of memory chips and keep Rambus from gaining traction in the market. Rambus wanted four billion dollars in damages. But the jury found in favor of Micron and Hynix. Micron says design flaws, manufacturing costs and Rambus’ business practices kept the company from gaining wide acceptance in the market. In a statement, Micron CEO Steve Appleton said Rambus’ allegations against the company were completely without merit.
