Judge denies motion to dismiss DRAM price-fixing lawsuit against Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix, finds evidence of DRAM collusion plausible after 500% price surge
The judge characterized the three companies as "hawks flying in formation" when it came to their business decisions.
Judge Noël Wise has denied Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix's motion to dismiss a lawsuit alleging price-fixing in the DRAM market. The plaintiffs, consisting of 17 individuals and small businesses, argue that the companies engaged in collusion to restrict DRAM supply and drive up prices by up to 500% in a year. The judge disputed the defendants' claim that this case is a repetition of a previous 2018 antitrust case, stating that the new evidence presented suggests collusion between the major memory chip manufacturers.
