Statement in the Matter of Rambus

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.”
