The Chronology of Rambus updated:

1)First, according to ITCLYR, the patents granted in 1999 were word for word VERBATIM the same as those filed in 1990 (body of the patent, claims excluded). This debunks the assertion that Rambus got ideas from JEDEC and then patented them.

2)Hitachi VP is suspicious but takes no action other than
getting busy implementing the Rambus IP in their SH-series microprocessors.

3)They did not look up patent numbers.

4)They did not do patent research in Europe where the Rambus patents are published in 1991. The European patent EP0525068 was publicly available since 10/18/1991.

5)Rambus signed no agreements with JEDEC and was known to be an IP only company. JEDEC did not have a written policy on IP at the time Rambus joined.

6) Rambus voted once at JEDEC and that was against the adoption of their one of the features of their IP.

7)Other members of JEDEC did not disclose their patents.

8)Hitachi, Intel and other companies were licensing IP from
RAMBUS as early as 1992 and continued to license
through 1996 under NDA agreements.

9)MU does not contest patents at all but bases entire case on JEDEC. Not only that as a remedy it wants RAMBUS to pay its DDR development costs. <hehe>
