Rambus in deeper legal troubles... EBN reports on an Infineon claim that Rambus had a mole in the JEDEC (after RMBS left themselves). If the date on this story wasn't the 5th, I would have thought it an April Fools joke based solely on the code names assigned to RMBS' alleged moles: Secret Squirrel and Deep Throat. Oh my, oh my ;-) Rambus had resigned a year earlier from the JEDEC committee drafting the SDRAM standard. However, Infineon attorneys presented internal e-mails from Rambus files from a hidden source identified only as "Secret Squirrel," allegedly leaking details of the JEDEC discussions on SDRAM after Rambus had left. Internal Rambus documents disclosed last month at the trial also show a source inside JEDEC called "Deep Throat" claimed to be keeping the memory design firm informed of the confidential SDRAM standards discussions. The alleged Rambus spies inside JEDEC surfaced when the transcript of a March 15 pretrial conference was recently released into the court record. Infineon lawyers told Federal Judge Robert Payne that the e-mails from "Secret Squirrel" and "Deep Throat" provided details of the DLL technology that JEDEC was considering and ultimately included in the SDRAM standard. They charged that Rambus then subsequently included the DLL technology as part of its amended SDRAM patent application on SDRAMs filed in 1997. Full Story: ebnews.com -fyo
