More information on the Dell case
Thanks to BCH on the FOOL
=========================================================
Jacqi,
I agree. I does seem that MU designed their complaint to read on the Dell decision. However, as I read the case it will still take new law to apply the Dell case to Rambus' participation in JECEC, even presuming that MU is stating facts.

In particular, the decision, which in itself made new and questionable law, was based on Dell's representative signing a statement (twice) that indicated that the had no knowledge of any infringing patents.

In the majority opinion, the justices suggested that they believed that Dell's representative did know and that they had a duty do disclose when asked to sign the statement relating to patents relating to the standard.

There is no such indication that JEDEC requested any such written disclosure.
