Lawsuits are now pending against the manufacturers of Dynamic Random Access Memory or DRAM computer chips, alleging that they colluded to fix prices at artificially high levels. A federal grand jury in San Francisco has also issued subpoenas and is aggressively investigating the matter.
DRAM chips are the most common memory chips. They are used in computers, digital cameras, cellular telephones and other electronic products. It is alleged that beginning in Fall 2001 and continuing through the Spring 2002, MICRON, INFINEON, HYNIX, SAMSUNG, MOSEL VITELIC and unknown others conspired to fix the prices of DRAM chips in violation of the federal antitrust laws. Major computer makers, including DELL and NEC complained to government agencies because DRAM chip prices rose almost 500% in a 3-4month period. Immediately before the price spike, DRAM chips were selling at or near cost. One company publicly reported that it had agreed with its competitors to restrict spot market sales and cut production to try to drive prices up.
If you or your company purchased DRAM chips at any time between the Fall of 2001 until June 2002 and believe you may have overpaid, you may have a claim.
