Ali,

The question is this, while rambus had particulars regarding the bus, timing, etc. described in their specification, those particulars were not claimed (where Rambus receives their protection). Instead, Rambus used the terminology of "bus".

When you talk about the prior art, still the prior art failed to invalidate the patent(s).

Think about it this way, ali. That particular decision muddied the waters for any patent holder who plans on asserting their patent rights in the courts.

IMO, since rambus used Industry standard terminology, I believe that they should receive multiple equivalents and the patent not interpretted so narrowly...
