Hi pompsander; Re: "I still think the case will settle, but in Rambus favor."
Thanks for being forthright and honest about this. A lot of the posters don't seem to want to make a statement about it, which I can certainly understand. Even Zeev, who holds himself out to be quite the expert on patent law, (though he seems to repeatedly misunderstand the Infineon case for invalidating Rambus' SDRAM patents) won't make a clear prediction here, but you and I will, at least.
Yeah, the judge was probably pissed with Infineon, but did you read the other transcripts that I have posted links and quotes to where all three judges (including the Infineon case one), threatened Rambus lawyers?
I think that there is a typical stock holder tendency to only see one side of a story operating here. This thread ignored it when Rambus lawyers got in trouble with the judges, but with just this single instance of Infineon lawyers getting in trouble it becomes the only topic worth talking about. Here's the same judge suggesting that Rambus lawyers will end up with sanction and attorney's fees type problems: #reply-15378059 . This reminds me of the apparent inability of Rambus longs to observe the industry conversion to DDR.
As far as violating the NDAs, has Rambus accused anyone of doing this? I think not, so why are you bringing it up? If Rambus didn't mention it in their extensive complaints and motions, you can be certain that there's nothing behind it.
