FTC Wants Immediate Ruling in Patent Case Against Rambus

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is asking a federal judge for an immediate antitrust ruling against Rambus, accusing the technology company of destroying evidence. The FTC told administrative law judge James Timony that Rambus had forfeited its right to a trial, citing the company for "willful, bad-faith destruction of material evidence," according to documents filed with the court on Dec. 20.
