Don,

Entanglements continue

Geoff Hughes, director of marketing for Samsung, said his company has are no plans to modify or cancel its agreements with Rambus. He pointed out that, while the judge may have ruled that Infineon is not infringing upon the Rambus patents, the patents themselves are still valid and other companies may still be found to be in violation of Rambus' intellectual property rights. With several concurrent legal cases, as well as an appeals process, these legal entanglements could continue for several more years.

"It's not over until the fat lady sings, and I don't think we've heard from her yet," Hughes said.

A spokeswoman for Elpida Memory Inc., a joint venture formed by the merge of NEC Corp.'s and Hitachi Ltd.'s DRAM operations, confirmed that there have been numerous high-level discussions in recent days regarding the impact of the ruling. However, she said Elpida has no current plans to revisit its royalty agreement with Rambus.
