Sun Microsystems is planning another turn at bat after striking out in its antitrust lawsuit against Hynix Semiconductor. Today, a federal judge in the District Court for the Northern District of California (San Francisco) threw out the case brought by Sun and Unisys against Korean chipmaker Hynix and several other companies that sought to prove price fixing for random access memory chips from 1997 to 2002. The other companies included in the suit were Infineon Technologies, Mosel Vitelic, Nanya Technology, Mitsubishi, Elpida Memory and Winbond Electronics. U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton told the plaintiffs that specific details of damages would have to be proved in order for the case to move forward. Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz (pictured right) had no comment, but Sun spokesperson Kathy Engle confirmed that the company would be re-filing the lawsuit. The re-filing deadline is May 4.
