The US Supreme Court has rejected a request by the FTC review its antitrust claims against chip designer Rambus.

The Supremes stuck their hands in their ears and went la la la when the FTC asked to reinstate the commission's ruling that Rambus violated antitrust law.

In 2002, the FTC accused Rambus of not telling anyone that it held or was seeking patents on technologies that were incorporated into industry engineering standards for DRAM, chips.

The FTC capped royalties the company could collect and required that it license the technology, but a federal appeals court ruled that the FTC had not provided enough evidence to prove that Rambus attempted to establish a monopoly on these memory chips.
