Judge tosses memory chip antitrust lawsuit
From the Associated Press
A federal judge has tossed out an antitrust lawsuit filed against seven memory chip makers.
Sun Microsystems Inc. and Unisys Corp. sued South Korea-based Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and six other companies Sept. 1, accusing the memory chip makers of conspiring to charge artificially high prices from 1997 to 2002.
U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled Thursday that the lawsuit needed to precisely detail the allegations of damages. Hamilton gave Blue Bell, Pa.-based Unisys and Santa Clara, Calif.-based Sun until May 4 to file an amended lawsuit.
