Judge lets buyers’ DRAM case proceed.

The buyers’ case rests on an allegation that Samsung, SK hynix and Micron colluded to limit the supply of conventional DRAM. The manufacturers asked the court to dismiss the antitrust class action; Judge Noël Wise denied that motion, allowing it to continue. Wise found the buyers had plausibly alleged a conspiracy. That lets the case move ahead at this stage, but it is not a finding that the companies actually colluded. She also distinguished the case from the Ninth Circuit’s 2022 DRAM II ruling. The buyers have cleared a procedural hurdle; the central allegation is still to be decided.
