"Crisp's Dec. 5, 1995, email stated that "Personally,I don't think this (patent policy) is nearly as onerous as some of us have earlier believed. As long as we mention that there are potential patent issues when a showing or a ballot comes to the floor, then we have not engaged in 'inequitable behavior.' At the same time, we do not necessarily have to agree to abide by the policy for any particular presentation or ballot. In other words, we can pick and choose what we decide to abide by on a case-by-case basis. "The things we should not do are to not speak up when we know that there is a patent issue, to intentionally propose something as a standard and quietly have a patent in our back pocket we are keeping secret that is required to implement the standard and then stick it to them later. I am unaware of us doing any of this or of any plans to do this." Crisp is obviously not an attorney, but this statement is very compelling as far as establishing state of mind at the time and good evidence towards no "bad intent" on the hiding the ball issue. We will see, we will see.

'Smoking gun' seen lacking in Rambus papers By Jack Robertson EBN (02/21/01, 02:11:58 PM EST) Court documents submitted in an antitrust suit filed against Rambus Inc. and unsealed last week by a San Jose federal judge do not appear to have produced the "smoking gun" that the company's adversaries were hoping for. I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Jacko & CMP would print this. They must be CONSPIRING to discredit me!!! ROTFLMAO. Well, well bi-scumb, danny-boy and ali-baba. No more Mr. Niceguy. This here PROOF from a reputable NEWS SOURCE proves you all to be LIARS. There, I think I got the thread back on Carl's wave length again <bg>. BTW, Gene, how is your T-bill strategy holding up! You are ONE BIG risk taker! LOL. Rockin' and a rollin', BP
