Winbond Electronics protected in DRAM antitrust price-fixing cases

Finnegan represented Winbond Electronics Corporation in several antitrust cases filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and by class-action plaintiffs in numerous states and Canadian provinces. The allegations involved price fixing in the DRAM industry. Finnegan successfully showed that Winbond was not involved in the discussions that formed the basis of the Justice Department investigation, and therefore negotiated settlements in most of the cases, either at no cost to Winbond or for very nominal settlement amounts.
