Pat, do you have the link to the document that this is interpreting?

2. On that day, they will have RMBS patents and there is nothing RMBS will be able to do about it.

The countdown has started, and ticks away with every Intel RDRAM chipset shipped...

Where did you find your information? I have never seen anything that intimates that Rambus will lose their patents to Intel. Please provide concrete evidence of such, otherwise it will be considered nothing more than rumor. I have a hard time believing that you will be able to sustantiate such a claim.

Pat:
Jim, What do you think of the following?:
(from sgolds on ragingbull)1. When Intel sells the 10,000,001 chipset for RDRAM, then they don't have to sell any more of it, at all, ever.


All I know that Intel pays no royalties on RDRAM enabled chipsets (820 or 840) for PC main memory. This bit of information came directly from RMBS IR dept.
If RMBS can defend and collect royalties for their IP for non PC main memory uses by Intel, I do not know the answer.
