Hi jim kelley; So what was the explanation for Rambus not getting their patent on SDRAM until many billions of dollars worth of the stuff had already been produced? Just how was it that it took Rambus 10 years to get a patent? I see companies get them in 2 years or less all the time. What was the reason for the big delay? We are talking very big bucks here. I would think that an IP company like Rambus would never let that much money slip through their fingers. -- Carl P.S. Rambus - the company that let many billions of dollars of SDRAM be produced without taking any royalties, thereby failing to protect their patents, and failing in their fiduciary duties to their shareholders.
