Scumbria> It is a travesty.

Not really, this is all that matters. Rambus Inc. committed fraud by using information from an industry standards committee to obtain microchip patents, a federal jury decided, ordering the company to pay $3.5 million in punitive damages.

Scumbria, This jury ruling will have far reaching effects on Rambus. It will not be easy to overule a jury on appeal.
In effect all Rmbus can now get is their fess from their other memory patents. DDR is now out of reach for them, totally out of reach. Still they can make money from that smaller arena and go forward aand not try to eat the world..

Maybe instead of the Blue man group the new advertizing campaign will be...
Buy a P4 and we'll throw in a felon?

Hi Scumbria; Re those liability limitation laws...

The memory makers who've been giving Rambus cash for nothing won't be limited by Virginia's punitive damage limits.

I wonder when the longs start researching the punitive damage laws in the "geographical" areas where the remaining (soon to be) two dozen lawsuits are located.
