Bonnie, not everyone thinks Rambus is dead. This from Fred Hager's Special Report on Rambus. Let me know if you want the entire report and I'll email it to you as well as his latest regular report. "Just The Facts About The Rambus Vs. Infineon Case" Rambus and their shareholders have been subjected to yet another attack of misinformation. It was incorrectly reported last night that judge Thomas Payne, presiding over the Rambus vs. Infineon patent case, made a pre-trial ruling that limited the scope of one of Rambus' patents involved in the case. The article, published in Electronic News by writer Steve Fyffe,repeatedly cited an unnamed source from Infineon who proclaimed that the judge ruled that Rambus' "Bus" patent in question was now limited in scope to Rambus-only technology, and it did not pertain to the "Bus" that was commonly used in today's SDRAM and DDR. In what is known as the Markman verdict, the judge will define the term "bus" for the jury, and therefore the trial will proceed with this definition(s). Regardless of the outcome of the Markman verdict, it will not end the case or result in a summary judgement. Despite what the article stated, this verdict has not been handed down yet, and according to Rambus' and Infineon's attorneys, it may be issued tomorrow.
