Jim Unless there is a clause in their contracts with their licensees Rambus will not have to repay any Sdram royalties. You simply have this wrong. I was wondering about that. That's the caveat emptor thing. Remember that there were two counts of fraud in there that they were found guilty of. It's the actual fraud that is the problem (see below) Trial Verdict Just In... May 9th It appears that the jury in the Rambus vs. Infineon trial have ruled in favor of Infineon on Count 10 Actual Fraud and Count 11 Constructive Fraud. On Count 14 RICO the jury ruled in favor of Rambus. Punitive damages of $3.5 M was awarded to Infineon which the court capped at $350,000. fredhager.com If the contracts were entered into where one party actually knew that they did not actually obtain the patents legally, does that mean the contract was negotiated in bad faith (fraudulently)? If so, does that create grounds for recovery of payments? Unless the actual fraud conviction is overturned, I doubt if rmbs will walk out of this intact. But of course, I could be wrong. I was wrong when I thought the SDR/DDR patents are a slam dunk, and that the entire PC industry was screwed for years to come. SbH
