Rambus Patent Claims Dismissed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the momentary-setbacks dept.

Gogo Dodo writes "The patent infringement claim by Rambus, the SCO of the chip world, against Infineon have been dismissed by a judge in Virginia due to Rambus destroying documents relating to the lawsuit." Of course, Rambus is already planning an appeal, so this may not be over just yet.

    I'm sure we all are. Since this is Slashdot however I find no need to back up my wild claims with solid facts.

    Man, I really hope they win the appeal. I'd hate to see them lose their ability to innovate.

    Ahh, the Unix philosophy: it's the users' fault.

    Is the story duplicated? It's the users' fault.

    Can't edit a story to correct a typo? It's the users' fault.

    Can't understand arcane command syntax? It's the users' fault.

    What starts out a sarcastic jest turns into a flame war..
    Actually in some countries rimms are extremely hard to come by and they are disproportionatly expensive.
    C'mon, folks, rimms suck ass (ROFL) and so does the consortium who frauded on them!
