jim, once again, you are are goofy. just thought i'd follow your lead and throw out insults to start me post ;-)
hitachi seems to believe there is. you don't know as much as hitachi re: this matter. if rmbs did rewrite patents and submitted after discussions at jedec then they will, imho, lose them. if they didn't then hitachi is really reaching... but you cite no evidence of this...
chorus... don't fall in love with stocks, oh yeah!
>>Why are you not complaining about Texas Instruments which has collected billions in patent royalties and awards over the last decade by it aggressive enforcement of its DRAM patent portfolio. Instead, you are running to TI for help in beating up RAMBUS.<<
ok, now you are reaching. i don't like txn, either ;-) not sure what this "point" does to add to the discussion... especially from someone with soooo, oh soooo, much business sense ;-)
chorus... don't fall in love with stocks, oh yeah!
mr biz sense (bs for short), nobody is against legitimate patents. however, contributing to open standards meetings, getting critical information from other contributors and then filing patents on the open standard AFTER everyone invested millions developing it... well, waaaaay beyond your comprehension. just business as usual per mr bs.

>>This is silly! The patents are presumed valid and Rambs has the right to insist on payment. The courts will not interfere with this basic right.<<
the courts decide what is right. hitachi has made a formal request for them to do so. this isn't a plain patent issue according to hitachi. this was purposeful misleading by rmbs. the courts will decide whether the presumption is correct.
mr bs, people file patents that become null and void if prior work is discovered. you should read up on what happened to the guy that tried to patent a wind surfboard (hint, he got it revoked due to prior art) if any of the r&d houses have any prior work that negates rmbs' patents it will come out. if rmbs did as hitachi alleges, some of their patents will be revoked.
why do you bend over and believe 100% of rmbs and 0% of hitachi?

>>They have a perfect right to do so. In the meantime, they should pay for the use of RMBS intellectual property.<<
correct. those patents that court upholds. if the court doesn't uphold it, give the money back, rambo!
>>It follows from your reasoning that Texas Instruments has hurt the industry the most.<<
no, mr bs, it doesn't. nobody ever accused txn of attending an open standard meeting under the misleading guise of facilitating an open standard and then turn areound and patent that open standard. false logic, mr biz wiz.
chorus... don't fall in love with stocks, oh yeah!
>>RAMBS is a corporation. It has a fiduciary duty to its stock holders to enforce its patent portfolio.<<
so, should ceos go rob banks when their qtrs don't go well? rmbs now has a legal responsibility to address hitachi's specific claims. the courts will decide whether rmbs' behavior was legal and, if so, whether their patents are upheld. now they have to address the ever popular monopoly issue...
