Get your rest, I can't wait to see you and jim kelley try to spin the Micron lawsuit into the most positive thing out for RMBS yet. It'll balance out my sadness for covering too soon on this total POS. And the best of it is that your still long this BS company... and still defending this fraudulant business model of patenting open standards and trying to ram it down the industry's throat... The shorts have been right since the 150's, there's no bottom on this thing, and you'll be the last to know... SPIN , SPIN , SPIN , SPIN

Richard, From your post, this section seems to me to indicate that as long as Rambus treats all players fairly re: royalties, there is little risk on getting an anti-trust ruling. (2) Courts will hesitate to regulate royalty rates. Therefore, the owner of the IP has the right to extract as royalty whatever rate the market will bear. While there is a risk that member state courts in the EU will intervene and deem royalty rates excessive, this risk is reduced if the same rates are offered throughout the EU and the prospective licensees, therefore, cannot claim discrimination or conduct which tends to impair the free flow of goods or services within the common market.
