Lawsuits are filed and fought for many reasons.
Of course one has to allege something, and it is best to
make it sound frightening to the other side.
I suspect Micron, Hyundai, and Infineon were hoping to bleed
Rambus with multiple suits to the point where they would accept a lesser
deal.
Besides, all 3 fought TXN (Texas Instruments) for years, and lost.
But I think they will find that Rambus doesn't play as nice as
TI did. RMBS is trying to make it clear that they will play a much
harder game.
The game the Dramurai are used to is "tails I win, heads we draw."
The result of losing isn't much worse than just signing a license agreement to
begin with.
But it looks like Rambus has made it clear that it has several ways of
upping the severity of this strategy of automatically fighting
royalties.
I hope RMBS sticks to its stated rule of shutting down adjudicated infringers.
