Zeev, In my hypothetical situation, forget the memory chip makers for a moment. Both sides of the bus are theoretically infringing. My hypothetical premise was for the chip set companies, all of whom provide a platform for and are assumed to include the IP technology. Doesn't every chip set maker that supports SDRAM and potentially DDRDRAM provide a platform for products that allegedly infringe yet are potentially a lucrative source of revenues? Can there be different criteria for these companies? JMHO's

Zeev, You are making very strong statements about things you admit you know nothing about. You said: RMBS was correct to sue Hitachi, since after a number of years of negotiations, Hitachi with wonton affront, refused to talk any deal, probably used the privileged (confidential information) supplied by RMBS in initiating the negotiations, in their shipping products, while others, like Toshiba, paid licensing fees and royalties. And then: You have to undewrstand that RMBS has 87 patents (as listed on the IBM site) and I have not studied these in details, it will take a major effort to study these, and that is beyond the scope of jhat I am going to do on this. If you are not familiar with Rambus' IP, how do you know that it has been violated? Scumbria
