Supreme Court Sides With Rambus Over FTC

afabbro writes "The US Supreme Court rejected the FTC's bid to impose anti-trust penalties on Rambus. Without comment, they let stand an appeals court decision favoring Rambus. The FTC had found that Rambus undermined competition by getting secretly patented technology included in industry standards, but the Supremes evidently didn't agree."

The Supremes

So the Supremes didn't say "Stop [bundling secretly patented technology] in the Naaaame of Love"?

It's kind of like being retroactively billed for all the times you've slept with your ex-wife. IRL we call that divorce, but in business it's called fraud.

Well, not like it's easy, but the trick is to find a wife who makes more money than you do. Then, you sue her. Hey, it works on celebrities. Unfortunately, Madonna doesn't return my letters :(

I know the term Rambus but what is this Slashdot that you speak of?

We do not use the expression IRL, we use AFK.
