The U.S. courts have decided otherwise. In the case of Hynix the jury found 37-0 in favor of Rambus that the patents were infringed and Hynix has payed over 300 Million into a bond and put the title to one of their chip fabs on the bond pending appeal.
You are correct, because DDR uses the same patented techniques that RDRAM did, it was just as fast. Ask yourself why if these companies colluded to fix prices as they have admitted to doing why did they decide to fix prices so low?
May 20, 2010 08:44 EDT MU, RMBS theflyonthewall.com: Rambus should be bought ahead of legal resolutions, says Capstone Capstone recommends owning Rambus ahead of the two legal decisions expected over the next three weeks. The firm notes that on Monday, May 24, Rambus is expected to receive final determination in its case versus Nvidia (NVDA), which Capstone estimates could be worth $6-$8 per share. A Court of Appeals decision in the Hynix/Micron (MU) case could follow that on May 31, which Capstone thinks could be worth $4 per share for Rambus. :
These same companies conspired to put Rambus out of business by stealing patented Rambus technology and using it in their DDRn products while suing Rambus for misleading JEDEC. They have been proven wrong by the courts time and again. DDR5 uses the same tecchniques, Rambus patented techniques, to a chieve its speed while not paying royalties to Mr Farmwald and Mr Horowitz who invented these techniques. Micron Hynix Infineon et al have been using their PR departments for years to create the media impressions that RDRAM had flaws when the only problem with it was that the memory cartel would lose control of the market if Rambus became successful.
Actually this same group of companies has conspired in the same way to keep prices for superior technologies higher than would naturally be the case in a free market in order to keep a competitor OUT of the business and to try to put a small company out of buisiness. I am referring to Mr Farmwald and Mr Horowitz who created RDRAM and tried to patent it. Intel licensed their patent and used it in some server systems. But the memory maker Cartel conspired to keep its production costs high in order to ensure that Rambus would be unsuccessful in the marketplace whilst at the same time using the patented technical advances without royalty in their products.
The companies also sued Rambus for a conspiracy to commit fraud on JEDEC which was using the design improvements patented by Rambus in DDR DDR2 DDR3 etc. without paying any royalty to Rambus and using their well established PR departments spread false information to besmirch Rambus in the media. All of this is only now coming to light several years after the original RDRAM has been overtaken by further improvements.
These companies are currently in a lawsuit in California to bring these issues to light.
Harper is a little busy right now telling the EU to get stuffed, we are not gonna tax OUR banks to pay for THEIR losses, Telling Hillary Clintons various and sundry non profit groups to get stuffed we are not gonna pay for abortions in the third world, and telling assorted Canadian opposition parties to get stuffed in general, But when he's free I'm sure he'll have time to answer your friendly note and tell you to get stuffed.
You film it in an MPEG format and convert it to Ogg Theora before distributing it. Might work.
That will only get you in further trouble by spoliation of evidence in light of future litigation. That's how Rambus got into trouble with its memory chip patents that JEDEC standardized on.

All Hype, And the volume control doesn't even go to eleven.
You're absolutely right but now we need to start apologizing for Jusin Bieber.

This allows the police to deny access to an attorney for 'some time' merely by stating that they suspect that the person is an illegal immigrant.
In this country you must have a laptop to work in a factory !
