Gene, when you file a patent in the US and intend to file a patent later in the EU, you have one year from the US filing date to apply for a CPT. The priority date (on the basis of which the date of "prior art public availability is determined) is maintained as the filing date in the first Jurisdiction (in this case US), the patent was filed in, thus the 1990 date for the EU patent is "probably" the controlling date. I say "probably" because I assume that Rambus filed the CPT within a year of the first US filing. If for some reasons unknown to me the EU filing did not claim this priority and the filing date is after SDRAM was in public usage, you may be right. Anyone looked at the EU patent in question to see what priority dates are claimed? Zeev In edit, I see that I just doubled up at $79. I hope it holds that daily low, or my trading discipline will force me through another whipsaw. (g).
