Re: Infineon patent claims from an earlier time would have to read on top of Rambus' patent claims in order for there to be precedence on the part of Infineon. This is extremely unlikely because RDRAM is a radical departure from the earlier DRAM. We will have to wait to see the particulars.

Trouble is, Rambus claimed that patents in the context of RDRAM also apply to earlier DRAM. Infineon said, "OK, have it your way, but then we are applying our patent claims made in the context of earlier DRAM to RDRAM."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, and it looks like Rambus's goose has just been cooked.

What's Rambus stock worth if its IP is invalidated? There should be some cash on hand, prepaid rents, office furniture, and other odds and ends, isn't there? Does 10 cents a share sound about right?
