Semiconductor supplier Micron Technology Inc. has filed a new lawsuit against Rambus Inc., in apparent retaliation for a suit filed by Rambus last month.

On Jan. 13, Rambus (Los Altos, Calif.) filed a patent infringement suit against Micron (Boise, Id.). At the time, Rambus asserted that Micron infringed upon its DDR2, GDDR2 and GDDR3 patents, according to John Danforth, senior vice president and general counsel at Rambus.

Micron (Boise, Id.) alleges in its suit that Rambus (Los Altos, Calif.) has “engaged in a pattern of destruction of evidence, false testimony and other improper activities designed to mislead courts and Micron and to extract unjust patent licensing fees or damages from Micron."
