This was kind of interesting, RMBS reports tomorrow I think.. (REUTERS) Rambus sues Hitachi for patent infringement in Germany Rambus sues Hitachi for patent infringement in Germany SAN FRANCISCO, April 11 (Reuters) - Rambus Inc. <RMBS.O>, a developer of designs to speed up computer memory chips, said it filed a lawsuit in Germany against Hitachi Europe GmbH, seeking to halt the shipment of Hitachi memory chips that it alleges infringe on Rambus patents. Rambus, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said that it has previously filed a suit against Hitachi in U.S. District Court and with the U.S. International Trade Commission for infringement of a total of eight U.S. patents, covering the same products. Rambus said it is seeking to halt the importation, sale, manufacture and the use of Hitachi SDRAM, DDR and SDRAM memory devices which are alleged to infringe on Rambus intellectual property protected by European Patent EP 0 525 068. Hitachi has a licensing agreement with Rambus for the sole purpose of enabling Hitachi to manufacture and sell memory and logic products which are compatible with Rambus RDRAM product specifications. The lawsuit filed against Hitachi does not relate to Rambus-compatible and logic products, Rambus said. ((therese.poletti@reuters.com, SF Bureau, 415/677-2542)) REUTERS * end of story *
