Zeev:

Read some of the latest docs from Jeff’s site:

rambusite.com

This one is where RMBS had to give the Court a list of products which use part of the involved RMBS IP. They list the 3 amigos/infringers first. Then comes the best part, where they list all of the involved products, one by one, made by Samsung, NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi, Mitsubishi and Oki. And for each company, the following phrase is used:

"...has developed a wide variety of SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, and SGRAM products under its’ license with Rambus.”

It's nice to know that the judge has again seen, in writing, that the majority of the industry has already acknowledged the validity of RMBS IP.

Edit: BTW, it looks like the rumored appeal to the Fed Circuit was wrt the Attorney:Client privilege thing. The judge stayed his own ruling pending that appeal (to higher court).

Hi Zeev,

That post was made with tongue firmly planted in cheek and I have no reason to doubt that Crisp was telling the truth. I was just poking fun at the way he did it.

In truth when a witness says "I don't know" something and then proceeds to give his best "guess" when he hasn't been asked for such speculation, I usually begin to throw up.<vbg>

But regardless of whether Crisp left RMBS in '96 or '00, there is no rule which would have precluded him RMBS or its lawyers from talking to him before his deposition and I would be very surprised if they didn't. Those "discussions could probably be inquired into in the course of his deposition, but perhaps not completely on the topic of what he did or knew at the time he was at RMBS.

Either way if such discussions were proper, IMHO their disclosure could have been no worse for RMBS than the testimony reported here.
