SbH,

The standards bodies don't injure the IP of pure design houses and many design houses participate in them. If they have patents on standards in development they disclose them and the group has the option of designing around them or adopting them. If they adopt them the design house can still collect a reasonable and nondiscriminatory royalty.

RMBS problem is that they wanted all the benefit of the standards process but didn't want to accept the quid pro quo and it tried to leverage its Give Away The Store Contract from INTC to accomplish this by shoving their bus down everyone's throat. Some one said no.

There won't be any ill effects of all this on JEDEC or any other standards process or any other design house. The Fabs work with Mosaid and RMTR without all these "Fraud" problems. Inventiveness and standards have and will continue to work together.
