I think the JEDEC issue may hold water and Rambo sandbagged the group. This is where the anti-trust biz comes in. We shall see where this leads. The patents themselves are a somewhat separate issue and have quite a few paths to follow. MU's position will no doubt be that the patents are invalid and even if they are valid are unenforceable due to JEDEC. If you are a potential infringer you can't just sue a patent holder to try and get the courts to clear the path for you. The patent holder has to first put you on notice. Then you can sue. I'm sure MU suspected a suit may be coming down the road but they took action first for various reasons. Such as timing, selection of venue, etc. So this is a backwards suit where the plaintiff is really the defendant, and it happens not infrequently in patent litigation. Too early to really judge the merits unless you are on the inside.
