The point I have been trying to make is that no significant design is possible these days without walking over dozens of patents. The longs over here are very proud of Rambus' patents, but the fact is that the main claim Rambus is making over SDRAM is just one of many patents being stepped on. I don't see anyone else asking for royalties on "walked over patents." Let them demand royalties. Oh, I forgot, they've got their quid pro quo for a cross-licensing arrangement. Ah! This is normally handled between companies by cross-licensing, but Rambus has no product and thus has nothing to cross license. Rambus can't really be litigated against, because they have no product besides IP. Really clever of them I think. Don't make anything tangible that has large costs associated with it's manufacture. Just think a lot and license those ideas - after disclosing them and patenting them. The patent system will have to come up with a new way to deal with IP companies They already did. It's called ROYALTIES!!!
