SRAM

  • Issue: Price-fixing

In re Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) Antitrust Litigation

Plaintiffs allege that from November 1, 1996 through December 31, 2006, the defendant manufacturers conspired to fix and maintain artificially high prices for SRAM, a type of memory used in many products, including smartphones and computers. Lieff Cabraser served as one of three members of the Steering Committee for consumers and other indirect purchasers of SRAM.

In February 2008, U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken denied most aspects of defendants' motions to dismiss plaintiffs' complaints. In November 2009, the Court certified a nationwide class seeking injunctive relief and twenty-seven state classes seeking damages. In 2010, the Court granted final approval of a first set of settlements. In October 2011, the Court granted final approval of settlements with the remaining defendants.
