Case ID: 4334 | Technology | 07/07/2005
Three owners of computers with Intel Corp. microprocessors have filed separate class action suits against the chip making giant in a U.S. District Court.
The plaintiffs allege that Intel has engaged in anti-competitive practices resulting in higher priced computers and other electronics products. They have asked the court for unspecified restitution. The first was filed by Ronald Konieczka in a San Francisco district court on the 30th of June. An unrelated case, was filed by Maria Prohias, also in San Francisco. The third case was filed on the 29th of June by David E. Lipton, again in a San Francisco court. The class action suits come just days after rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) filed an antitrust suit against Intel in a U.S. District Court in Delaware on June 27, alleging that Intel has been operating an unlawful monopoly in the x86 microprocessor market.

The actions claim that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. Microsoft has laid yet another antitrust action to rest--there are at least six more to go. The parties reached a tentative $32 million settlement in a class action against Microsoft Corporation alleging that Microsoft violated Kansas' antitrust and unfair competition laws. The proposed settlement benefits consumers and businesses who, between December 10, 1996, and December 31, 2002, resided in Kansas and indirectly purchased certain Microsoft operating system, productivity suite, spreadsheet or word processing software for use in Kansas and not for resale.
The class has been certified in an action filed against the Oklahoma Transportation Authority and the State of Oklahoma on behalf of all current and former PikePass customers who had at least one force match transaction after July 11, 1997. The action alleges that Oklahoma's automated toll-gathering system has overcharged travelers for at least the last seven years. Persons eligible to take part in the action should contact the attorneys for the class to register.

A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360 has sued the world's largest software maker, saying the new video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and freeze up. The proposed class action claims that the company was so intent on releasing the Xbox 360 before competing next-generation machines from Sony Corp. and Nintendo Co Ltd. that it sold a "defectively designed" product.
Networking manufacturer NetGear said that it would add a disclaimer to its packaging, offer a 15 percent discount on its online store, and pay $700,000 in legal fees in order to settle a class-action lawsuit over misrepresentation of the speed of its wireless products. |
