Dan3... "Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Infineon already patented the IP in Rambus's patents - before Rambus did. Then Rambus's patents are all invalid." It is my understanding they would have to show prior art that they in fact hold the patents for SDRAM and DDR, which Rambus is said to have. It was for this reason, as I understand it, that Hitachi settled because none in JEDEC could show otherwise and that RAMBUS appears to be on solid ground. This will be the reason that Infineon will settle. If it went all the way to trial and Infineon lost, even if there is the slightest chance of them losing, they would be out of business. That is a chance they just can't take no matter how great or slim their chances are. This is like one big bad dream for Infineon as well as many others. Better to settle now and get it behind and go forward.
