Thanks to goose_eggs on Yahoo and Rusty on TMF: M-CAM Analysis Comments by: goose_eggs (36/M) 02/24/01 09:43 am EST Msg: 221837 of 221874 1) Rambus patent 5928343 clearly references HP patent 4998262, although Rambus patent 5954804 does not. (Read the patent and you'll see it.) 164.195.100.11 /search-bool.html&r=8&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ft00&s1=5928343&OS=5928343&RS=5928343 2) 14 other patents refence the HP patent 4998262, at least one of which is from Rambus. delphion.com 3) From HeavyRed on Fool Board Hi Jacqi, Yup, goes all the way back in one small step to 4/18/90. Did some digging on the Wiggers (HP -#4998262) and Grover (Alberta Telecom - #5361277) patents with respect to the M-CAM article. Using M-CAM's patent continuation chain on page 8, I looked up Rambus' 5243703 (first patent on clocking), 5434817, 5511024, 5430676 and 5319755 patents. These are the first generation offshoots from the '703 patent. None of these including the '703 patent disclose the Wiggers or Grover patents. (BTW, the 5360308 patent shown on M-CAM's chart as a first generation offshoot from the '703 patent is for a vibrating gate on a dump truck--LMAO. Great add for their software.) Then I went to the next generation of patents, 6070222,6034918,6032214 and guess what? These patents supply the Grover patent as a reference (and guess what--the Grover patent references the Wiggers patent). And guess what, Mikey likes it, because these patents issued. So at least to some extent this issue was before the USPTO and patents issued with full knowledge of the other patents. All the best, Rusty 4) I thought DRAMReview addressed this issue a year ago, the link is currently under construction on the Rambusite board. 5) No concern from me; read the RMBS v IFX exhibit list in detail and you'll sleep well. -GooseEggs Yes, these have been bought up before. That they are coming up now, means more 9th inning FUD. BP
