Swidler May Split Its Lawyers Between Dickstein, Orrick
Swidler Berlin Shereff Friedman is considering a pair of deals that could send the firm's Washington, D.C., and New York lawyers to two separate firms, sources familiar with the discussions say. Under the plan, D.C.'s Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky would pick up Swidler's Washington lawyers, while Swidler's New York office would merge with San Francisco-based Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. Orrick had attempted to merge with both offices of Swidler earlier this year.

Chipmaker Rambus Wins Latest Round in Antitrust Battle
In a blow to one of the Federal Trade Commission's largest and most ambitious proceedings, an administrative law judge last week dismissed the agency's antitrust case against Rambus Inc. The ruling is a roadblock for the three companies challenging the computer chip developer over its patents and could pave the way for Rambus to collect billions in licensing fees from these three, as well as scores of others. The FTC sought to bar Rambus from enforcing patents on computer chip technology.Trending Stories
