This shouldn't be a surprise to you. Modern RDRAM was designed in 1996, why would Rambus have been able to file a patent that would cover it in 1990? That would require psychic abilities. Now I ask you do great minds think alike or what! That's exactly why I was saying the claims examiner(s)' files would be so tasty! Obviously the Crispy critters didn't have a clue as to what IP they'd have to steal until Secret Squirrel started dropping nuts on them. Why the pre-JEDEC standards correspondence to the PTO is probably chock-full-o-elegant praise for the unique qualities of their inspired two party line. I wonder when that changed? 1993? '94? '95? Certainly it must have dawned on them before '96 right? Do you think they had the same claims examiner over that time frame? And I wonder what the case load was like for the examiners looking at memory IC filings in that period? Too bad Mom & Pop could care less about the PTO. I smell as much dirty laundry in that place as I do in Santa Clara. ...It would probably make a great scandal in its own right. ...Not enough sex for 60 Minutes though.<sigh> 0\|0
