It is the smoking gun of a conspiracy to take Rambus technology away from them by making it a public standard. Infineon and the rest of these companies are going to be wearing black hats. Siemans considered Rambus association with the Japanese firms a big negative and considered Rambus a huge threat. This is effectively the end of the JEDEC and RICO chages. It also damages Infineon's infringement case as it admits to copying and conversion of Rambus technology. There will be many more documents like this one.

Transcript highlights from Fred Hager: "The following pages are notes supplied to Rambus from Infineon very late in the pre-trial. Much of these pages are in German, but the following passages are of particular interest: Page 17-18 of Adobe document, which shows pages 5 of the actual document presented to Rambus and appears to be from JEDEC committee notes. "The original idea of the SDRAM is based on the basic principles of . . . the complex RAMBUS structure. NEC (RAMBUS license holder) was the first to suggest a leaner "public domain" version. . ." Page 25: The passage on this page shows potential evidence that the JEDEC chairperson, who was with IBM at the time, acknowledges that there is the development of a "Public Domain" version of the Rambus technology in the works. Page 26-28: These pages represent potentially the biggest support for Rambus, and what we'll call the latest "smoking gun". As described by an Infineon official, Rambus is a "deadly menace to the established computer industry". The pages continue with detailed plans as to what to do with Rambus and their technology, including buying Rambus and burying them, waiting and seeing what happens, or getting them into JEDEC to make the technology public domain."
