Prophet, Your position is difficult to comprehend given that 50% of the DRAMurai have conceded that RMBS' IP applies, and the other 50% are primarily asserting estoppel arguments to avoid paying royalties. It is clear that most everyone but you believes that RMBS has IP fundamental to SDRAM and DDR. When Hitachi signed, they issued a statement saying that they did not recognize Rambus' claims. The Asian manufacturers signed agreements to protect themselves from political action by the USITC, and to take a ride on the RMBS stock bubble they produced. The DRAM manufacturers decided to let an American company fight the battle, because the USITC has no interest in blocking competition from an American company. If Rambus loses in court, what do you think is going to happen to these agreements you are touting? Scumbria
