Scumbria re: <Rambus believes that they have (opportunisticaly) extended this patent to synchronous controllers and synchronous memories. There is in fact, no other rational way to set the memory delay on reads, and it is rather obviously necessary, but Rambus has managed to obtain a patent. Their claims on this particular patent do not seem to me indicative of hard word or innovation, except on the part of their patent law department> Hello Scumbria: Let's assume that your argument is correct. How then do you explain the fact the the law department saw fit to grant Rambus a patent on this? Additionally, I believe that the amount of "hard work" exerted to arrive at the innovation is not an issue in determining if a patent should be granted. For instance, while observing some process, one could have a flash of insight as to how the procedure could be radically improved with a very simple alteration. Many extremely simple, "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" ideas that required little effort have been patented. Best, Multico
