Mishedlo, I think that you will find that the HP and RMBS patents are in "diametric opposition", in that HP has claim on "absolute clocking" while RMBS has claims on "differential clocking". The examiner did not simply miss the HP patent, it was before him as prior art in the examination of the RMBS patent.

By the way, time of filing is not the "priority date", if one can prove unequivocally, that a patent (with a later filing date) was invented prior to the invention of the patent with the prior filing, it could be enough by itself. I think that Hitachi strategy, however is going to be to show that RMBS was in the public domain (at least 12 months)before the filing of the first patent, that is why the industry is busy reviewing all record books within their organizations to find such material that predate the RMBS patents.
