As a factual point, I don't know if the rmbs longs realize this, but the finding of fraud was very explicit in that Infineon was able to prove to a jury that RMBS was attending the jedec meetings ...and... modifying their patent applications to match the jedec standards.

This is not just a question of not disclosing any pending patent filing. If not overturned, the implication to the company is actually a lot more severe than that.

You should be arguing with Tinkershaw.

No one has proven any harm befell Infineon even Infineon it seems. Actually, Infineon has benefited from not having to pay royalties. In fact, the jury and the judge awarded only $1 in actual damages the rest was punitive damages.

So while your argument may be true in other cases in this case it does not apply.

Hi John Petzinger; Re: "What kind of legal idiocy is that?
"

Rambus' legal theory on this is sort of like a child molester claiming that since he only got the little girl into his car, but was stopped by the police before going further, he therefore didn't "harm" her, and shouldn't be held liable.
