Then there is Inphi. Why did NetList drop the case? Speculation is that Marvell, who bought Inphi, wanted no part in a lawsuit not of their making and provided proof of collusion, that could be used against GOOG, in return for being removed from the naughty list. It's pure speculation, but certainly possible. Not long after that the word "Collusion" started appearing in the motions of NetList.
