ethan, Whether there was or was not a Markman ruling against Rambus yesterday seems more a matter of fact than the rumor floated last November that Intel had considered dropping Rambus? Is Rambus denying that the Markman hearing ruling from the court limited the scope of its patent claims? (Yes, perhaps RMBS can appeal, but it would have been better for Rambus to win at the trial court.) If no such ruling occurred, as you almost suggest, why didn't Rambus issue a release today? Help me understand the point you are trying to make. saukriver

Paging Tinkershaw on Rambus Tinkershaw, please jump right in here as I sold my Rambus shares months ago. Question: What happens to Rambus' patent license revenue (from, e.g., Toshiba signed last June) if the underlying patent claims were limited to just Rambus' type of bus (don't extend to SDRAM or DDR)? Your point has been in previous posts that Rambus is risky because of the patent risk. You seem correct. saukriver
