The legal remains of one-time PC maker Tiny Computers can sue RAM manufacturers Micron and Infineon for damages over a 2002 price-fixing cartel, the UK Court of Appeal has ruled.
The case resurrects some ancient brand names from British computing history as well as some decidedly dodgy doings by DRAM dealers during the 2000s.
Earlier this month the Court of Appeal ruled that liquidators from Grant Thornton were entitled to sue Infineon and Micron for damages over a RAM price-fixing cartel that first came to light in 2004 and was smashed for good in 2010.

The National it is an important test case, which ruled that the shipping industry “owes a duty of care” to beach workers even after vessels have been sold. It will apply to all European countries.
“All the big shipping nations of Europe will send hundreds of ships to South Asia,” Oliver Holland, lawyer for Leigh Day said. Labourers walking on the muddy beach of Chittagram where mega freighters have been left for disassembling by low paid workers. Jonas Gratzer/LightRocket via Getty Images

Motorola must pay a Chinese mobile network radio maker more than £800,000 after losing a Court of Appeal case over claims its rival threatened to retreat to China and evade a previous judgment.
The complex case was summarised in a Court of Appeal ruling where senior judges reversed a High Court asset-freezing order against Hytera Communications Corporation Ltd, a digital mobile radio (DMR) biz.
Motorola previously sued Hytera in the US. Back in 2008, the Chinese company allegedly lured three of Motorola s engineers into its own ranks, taking confidential documents and source code with them. A US jury duly awarded Motorola $763m in compensatory and punitive damages in February 2020.
