Considering the nature of the complaint against RMBS, I think INTC would be in the clear. Basically, the FTC is claiming that RMBS was playing both sides towards the middle: simultaneously lobbying to have RDRAM blessed by standards bodies, and quietly patenting the technology. Hard to see how anybody could tie INTC to that. Frankly, I think their suit is pretty weak, and more likely to be taken as a warning than anything else. Particularly as RDRAM is hardly a compelling standard. The message will be: If you're going to try to establish an industry standard around your technology, you'd better be forthcoming about how proprietary the technology is. mg
