If RMBS' patents are upheld and Micron, for example, loses, with RMBS' policy of not licensing companies who they beat at trial, Micron would be practically put out of business.

I've never heard this before....arent there anti-competitive issues?


Perfectly legal. In fact the whole issue of RMBS being a monopoly is ludicrous. Rambus doesn't produce a thing. A slew of far greater than 20 companies do all the production. Hardly a monopoly. The whole complaint seems to revolve around RMBS demanding a higher license for DDR than RDRAM so as to force the industry into RDRAM. The count is weak at best and yes, Rambus can refuse to license to any and all parties if they choose without legal repercussions.
