Interesting Zeev, But I don't understand the assumptions underlying your opinion that a win in Europe (Germany) would set a strong precedent for the MU suit. Frankly, I don't see how it could be relevant to MU's allegations in view of your assertion that the "JEDEC" defense is meaningless in Europe. And I hope you didn't take my comments as suggesting that RMBS' intent in the MU case is simply a matter of delay. I would bet money against that. My point was only that RMBS apparently doesn't feel required to let "time" dictate their course in the MU case. 0\|0

Hi Zeev Hed; Re: "in case there is anything in the "Jedec defense" of Hyundai and MU. In Europe, the Jedec defense is simply irrelevant to the case." Actually, Hyundai is not suing on JEDEC grounds. That was initially widely reported, then denied by Hyundai. Hyundai is suing [in the US] on prior art: The Hyundai suit takes a different tack than the Micron case, claiming Rambus' synchronous-DRAM patents are invalid due to prior art andthe invention of synchronous timing technology for memory chips. A Hyundai spokesman said the Korean company is not raising the antitrust issue that is the key focus of the Micron suit. buyersnews.com -- Carl
