Rambus, Hynix and JEDEC
News from Bloomberg:
"A federal court jury in April awarded Rambus the $307 million, agreeing with its claims that Ichon, South Korea-based Hynix infringed patents covering aspects of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, the main memory used in computers. In a third and final portion of the case, Hynix will argue Rambus, based in Los Altos, California, attended meetings of a memory-chip standards panel without disclosing patents it would later enforce. Hynix argues the Rambus patents are unenforceable. Rambus has said it made all the required disclosures to the memory-chip standards committee, called the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council." Is this the first time that IEEE JEDEC subcommittee gathered world major semiconductor manufactures to establish an electronic device standard, then after all parties invest billions of dollars, they found out that the standard contains patents from some company? It seems to me that it is very unfair for all memory makers to pay 4.5% royalty on all DDR and DDR2 DRAMs sold in USA. And I think it will be more difficult for USA as the leader to gather all countries to establish technology standards. Not good for earth civilization. To correct wrong doing, I think FTC will punish Rambus severely. Anti trust suit against Rambus is a good start and is the first step to re-establish USA creditability. |

Let's be practical, regardless of what actually happened, most of the major memory makers are non-US companies while Rambus is an US company. -- A Lost Angel, fallen from heaven Lost in dreams, Lost in aspirations, Lost to the world, Lost to myself |

American have too much domination or rather should I say
"Monopolistical" Attitude like Intel, Microsoft and RAMBUS. They have no moral no integrity and no brains. Between selling something that works and something that is a wast of time. Let's not forget Worldcom = Worldcon Enron case The american should quit shuffling useless technology into the market. GOOD RIDDANCE TO RAMBUS !@#@$@%#@$% The little lost angel wrote: On Mon, 17 Jul 2006 21:19:41 GMT, "Ar Q" wrote: civilization. To correct wrong doing, I think FTC will punish Rambus severely.

If you don't know their names then please don't contribute condemnations like what you're saying! |
