Mr. Billow:

Rambus also filed another brief seeking a new trial. Infineon filed a brief asking that Rambus be enjoined from filing any further infringement claims against the German firm on any of the dozens of synchronous patents that weren't involved in the Richmond case. Infineon argued that the jury verdict of fraud for its silence in the JEDEC standard deliberations would negate all of the Rambus synchronous patents, even those not part of the Richmond trial.

The bold bit is the nut IFX really wants. Asking this Court to go further by "voiding" the patents couldn't help IFX any more than the injunction. It would be overreaching considering the small number of patents in issue and the lack of compensatory damages. I doubt that the Court would have "voided" the patents based on the case that was tried in his court. Simply asking for it would be a negative they don't need on appeal.

As you say it was a no-brainer. ...It seems that all the "Good News" for RMBS since the trial has been of the "stay of execution" variety. When the P4 gets its new SDRAM/DDR suit and Tate & Friends can no longer get the Mommas & the Popas to stand up and salute at the ephemeral projections as to when DRDRAM will be the "next" memory standard, they will cave and ask for a date certain. There is no way this management crew could eat sufficient crow to survive in nichedom.
