chic, I have signed quite a number of licensing agreements, i have never had a single one in which there was a clause, "hey, but we think that the patent are invalid", sure there are clauses stating that royalties rate may change if the basic patents are invalidated . Since Rambus always provide support to its licensees, there is always an element of "proprietary information" which is not patented, but still could bear royalties, that is probably covered by the license,.. If the license is worded correctly, the licensee is forbidden from challenging the validity of the IP at a later date. I think that you are holding your argument by straws here, the basic facts is that the Dramurais are folding..., the poker game is nearly over. Good luck out there, we'll need it in the next two days. Zeev

chic,where in the hell did you reads that toshiba, oki, hitachi and nec signed deals stating that they thought rmbs patents were invalid but they would pay them anyway? that goes beyond lying to STUPID LYING. and if any one else thinks nec and hitachi can change their minds and not recognise rmbs patents after they once recognised them can chip in for the lawsuit. by the way, john elway is getting a part in the o.j. simpson movie. he plays the part of the slow white bronco! rocky
