chic, I have signed quite a number of licensing agreements, i have never had a single one in which there was a clause, "hey, but we think that the patent are invalid", sure there are clauses stating that royalties rate may change if the basic patents are invalidated . Since Rambus always provide support to its licensees, there is always an element of "proprietary information" which is not patented, but still could bear royalties, that is probably covered by the license,.. If the license is worded correctly, the licensee is forbidden from challenging the validity of the IP at a later date. I think that you are holding your argument by straws here, the basic facts is that the Dramurais are folding..., the poker game is nearly over.
Good luck out there, we'll need it in the next two days.
