UHD Alliance Lost Google, Synaptics as Members, Says DOJ

Google withdrew its UHD Alliance membership, as did human interface components supplier Synaptics and Chinese semiconductor maker Beijing Eswin Computing Technology, the association told DOJ and the FTC in simultaneous “written notifications” March 21, says a notice for Friday’s Federal Register. UHDA membership "remains open," and the association "intends to file additional written notifications disclosing all changes," said Suzanne Morris, chief-premerger and division statistics in DOJ’s Antitrust Division. The notifications are required to extend UHDA members antitrust protections under the 1993 National Cooperative Research and Production Act, said Morris.
