re: "...there are still a dozen patents involved in other Rambus cases in the U.S. and Europe.."

The article fails to paint the complete picture, and should have added something like the following to the end of the story (w/ my editorial comments added in bold):

"In a related case, two court appointed experts have rendered an opinion to the Monza court in Italy on the infringement of a Rambus patent by Micron Technology and made the following determinations:

"Therefore the undersigned technical experts believe that the semiconductor memory devices manufactured according the teaching of Micron datasheets in the file and relative to Synchronous SDRAM memories identified with the codes MT48LC1284A2, MT48LC64M8A2, MT48LC32M16A2, shall be considered falling the patent EP 0 525 068 protection scope in suit as defined by the actual independent claim as granted. ("uh oh" for the gang of three thieves)

.....It must be pointed out that in its third brief Micron refers to figures, graphics and descriptive parts which do not correspond to anything in the documentation in the file examined by the undersigned.
(LOL)

11) ANSWERS TO THE QUERIES
Considering result of the exam of the documentation in the file and the arguments used in the precedents points the undersigned respond to the queries as follows:

R1) Rambus patent EP 0 525 068 has the requirements of novelty and inventive step which are requested by the Italian Patent Law for its validity..
(stating the obvious)

R2) The invention is described in a manner sufficiently clear and complete that an expert person may implement the invention..
(yes)

R3) The patent is not extended beyond the content of the original claims..
(take THAT, gang of thieves)

R4) SDRAM semiconductor memory devices manufactured in accordance with the teaching of Micron DATA Sheets in file and relative to Synchronous memory identified with the codes MT48LC1284A2, MT48LC64M8A2, MT48LC32M16A2 must be considered as falling in the scope of claim 1 as granted of Rambus patent EP 0 525 068..
(stick a fork in Micron, they're done)
