Court Decision Favors Rambus

Posted by Hemos on from the and-it-goes-on-and-on dept.

RoscoeP writes "This story from News.com: "A federal judge has overturned two counts of fraud against chip designer Rambus...". At least Rambus can't pursue litigation against Infineon for SDRAM though." See our previous stories about Rambus for far-too-much background.

    ...and they're the only ones.

    If there were a gang of kids planning to string tin cans together to talk to each other...

    Geoff Tate would leap from the bushes, run down the street and fax the design to the US patent office, then sue unless he was paid a stipend.

    Lucent would attempt to make the cans and string and lose a large fortune, requiring massive layoffs at their lemonade stand.

    Steve Case would be adamant that the string have a huge granny knot in it to be more effective

    Bill Gates would say it has to be 4 inch braided nylon rope with a detour through his house

    Larry Ellison would hold his breath and turn purple unless the cans were imported from Japan

    Thomas Penfield Jackson would call Gates a big stupid jerk and get dragged home by his mother and grounded for a week

    Boy, what a difference spin makes. Check this article out:

    Seems pretty much pro-Rambus.

    Now look at this one:

    Basically a reprint of Infineon's press release. Boy, and you thought the patent system was confusing! So what's the real analysis?
