Bilow, You left out the issue to litigate. Rambus did not refuse to license. It was the 3 MMs that chose to litigate. In my view, once that happens. all bets are off. The MMs lose the right to be licensed in the lose. There has to be a consequence. I see nothing wrong with that. It's as much of a gamble as anything else in business. They gambled and lost. So suffer the consequences. Nothing wrong with that. Otherwise, nobody will be licensing anything knowing that they can just litigate till they put a small company out of business (and there is past proof to that). IMO, Rambus has all the rights in the world against the ones that choose to litigate, to refuse to license their patents to them. Cause otherwise it gives a lot more power to big companies to litigate to force down their position against small ones. There has to be a consequence. And the consequence in this case is that David can bring down the Goliath the same way Goliath is trying to bring down David.
