07:33 RMBS High-stakes memory chip trial kicks off - Reuters (31.39 ) Reuters reports a high-stakes legal showdown over computer memory chips kicks off this week as Rambus Inc. seeks to prove that South Korea's Hynix Semiconductor Inc. ignored its patents and should pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. After six years of back-and-forth legal wrangling, jury selection began on Monday, and the two companies are set to deliver opening arguments on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. A verdict is expected to be issued in mid-April, and if Rambus wins, the jury could order Hynix, the second-biggest memory chip maker in the world, to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in back licensing fees and damages. A courtroom win could also help shake a view that Rambus's business model consists mainly of suing other companies, an image executives complain has dogged it despite the fact that it employs hundreds of engineers and researchers.
