Rambus CEO surprises world+dog theregister.co.uk

Meanwhile, Mike Magee's evil twin takes a shot at that conference call, or maybe just the net coverage thereof.

Mountain View law firm Rambus, Rambus and Rambus held a conference call
last week in which a couple of surprising - nay unbelievable - statements
were made.

CEO Geoff Tate replied to an analyst's question about how much time he
spent on legal issues as opposed to looking at future technology with a very
unlikely: "In recent weeks I've only been spending ten per cent of my time on
litigation," adding: "I'm not a lawyer."

Of course you're not, Geoff. That's why 90 per cent of the teleconference was
taken up with legal issues

And so on. Your friends are invited to join the team, Jim, though I doubt if the Intel legal team that negotiated their particular tar baby contract with Rambus would be given much consideration, if business acumen is a requirement. Rambus ought to give them a kickback for services rendered, anyway.

And as if the company didn't have enough lawyers already, Rambus is currently advertising for yet more legal eagles here. ®

The link is rambus.com . Includes a little PC admin on the side:

Managing notebook functions and notebook formalities with in-house technical staff;

I also liked this bit:

Preparing and prosecuting domestic and foreign patent applications, 1-2 per quarter. C.

I hate it when they prosecute patent applications. How are the poor applications supposed to afford a lawyer to defend themselves?
