earlie, hitachi is pissed. i think they represent ALL dram mfrs. rmbs is the one eyed devil invading their peaceful realm. here's what i think happens... * significant amounts of rmbs' patents will be deemed in the public domain (all those rewritten patents after sitting in on industry meetings to get the goods will be tossed) * significant portions of rmbs' patents will remain valid. how significant is key. it c/b major or it could be minor. prior art from the dram guys will be flowing to court like milk and honey in the land of milk and honey. * rmbs has now aligned itself with the devil in the eyes of its intermediate customers. * rmbs's licensing power will be reduced via the courts. * the dram guys will work around rmbs' limited patents if at all possible. rmbs has REALLY hurt the industry. technology sharing will be limited now. standards will be more difficult to arrive at. rmbs beats up on customers (us) trying to force us to pay higher prices for their product. rmbs sucks! too bad they can't make money based off sound business practices. they have to give away warrants, money, sit in on meetings and steal info, hide their true intentions... hey, they can't even make money after they did all this! ;-)
