If RMBS' patents are upheld and Micron, for example, loses, with RMBS' policy of not licensing companies who they beat at trial, Micron would be practically put out of business. I've never heard this before....arent there anti-competitive issues? Hmmm....I might be able to think of a couple of companies that Qualcomm might want to screw <g>. Of course, I am a shareholder in one of them.... Slacker

Tinker, How realistic is it to assume that RMBS would follow thru on the threat of not licensing to those they battle in court? If history repeats itself and this becomes a true Gorilla Game then demand will far exceed supply. It would seem RMBS would need as many companies as possible shipping its products. P

I have been trying to find a post which was put on this thread sometime in early 1999, shortly before the Ericcson settlement with QCOM where the poster lost all patience and said (paraphrased) "Qualcomm is no gorilla I'm out of here." It was one of the most sad and ill-timed stock trading moves in history. Apparently this poster owned QCOM for some time and then just sold out just barely prior to QCOM's epiphany. I hope that poster bought back in, but since I never saw his name again, he probably did not. Um, Mr. Carragher, how about it? And what do you think of Rambus today? <GGG> Message 8545677 tekboy/Ares@threadarchivist.com PS I don't care what tinker says, there is no way I am going to risk losing money on the 'bus a third time. Not gonna do it! wouldn't be prudent!
