<<Rambus Vs. Infineon April 25th, 2001
By Bill Teel and Jim Rockwell
***
Dr. Davidow took the stand next, and outlined his background, which included attending Dartmouth as an undergrad, where he earned a Masters in Electrical Engineering. After attending Cal Tech for a year, he earned his PHD at Stanford.

From 1961 to 1973, Dr. Davidow worked for GE, HP and Intel. From 1973 to 1985, Dr. Davidow ran Intel's Microprocessor unit, and in 1985, he left to pursue a business in venture capital financing. While working for Intel marketing department, Dr. Davidow established many relationships in the industry, including Siemens, who he worked with for seven to eight years. He acted as the point person with Siemens, stating he liked working with the company and made a number of friends at the company during the time.

When working with Rambus on their business strategy, Dr. Davidow chose Siemens as the European DRAM manufacturer of choice to approach for a partnership.
***
At this time Dr. Davidow acts as a non-participating chairperson, and he spends much of his time looking after shareholder interests by overseeing company audits, and ensuring the company conducts its business conservatively.

During the cross examination, Infineon asked mostly questions about Davidow's efforts in furthering the RDRAM standard, as opposed to the SDRAM standard. He confirmed his role as primarily pursuing companies to sign licensing agreements for RDRAM.

Dr. Davidow spent the least amount of time on the witness stand, and the court concluded at approximately 5:00 p.m.>>

My Questions for Milberg-Weiss:
Do you think this is a fair description of the DavidOw testimony? Is it likely that he didn't know of Tate's "business plan" for RMBS? Would he have advised someone at INTC of that "business plan" when it was being "held up" for that confidential agreement in 1997? Is it possible that you might place greater attention on this aspect of Old DavidOw's recollections?

The basic problem for this fraudulent management and their deal with INTC is simply this. Everyone now knows that the RMBS business plan was to rip off JEDEC for the industry standard no matter what it contained. We have it in Tate's own words as I recall your footnoted posts.

So back in '97, they walk in to INTC's conference room with a proposed "confidential" agreement calling for INTC to sign over its future connectivity for; what was it? Five years?

Do you think Old DavidOw was at this soiree? Whoever attended for The Bus Company would have at least carried some high gloss brochure that set out THE "business plan" wouldn't they?

Or do you think that Old DavidOw would have dressed it up with some pale conservative imitation that duped the young innocent Mr. Gelsinger?

If RMBS says it lied to INTC about its true "business plan" all it gets is another Plaintiff. If RMBS says that INTC was well aware of the real plan all along, then they have a much more interesting "target" for Plaintiffs' counsel to focus on.

So tell me. What story is this pack of nonfiduciary officers going to tell at their Class Action depositions? We know that at the IFX trial they tried to sell their ugly little business plan as acceptable industry practice consistent with all the known laws of PTO and GOD. ...Well, if they stick to that fairy tale, how are they going to explain not having informed INTC of this intended course of action in 1997?

I'm sure you will find this issue of interest Mr. Milberg-Weiss. Hopefully you can track it down. ...Hollywood is counting on you.
