"Rambus (RMBS:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) won a major
court victory Monday, when a jury found that South Korea's Hynix
Semiconductor infringed on the company's patents.
A federal court jury in San Jose, Calif., found that Hynix, the world's No.
2 computer memory maker, infringed on all 10 patent claims at issue, and
awarded Rambus $307 million. At issue were various flavors of memory
interfaces, including DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM, used in personal computers and
servers."
So Court ruled that Rambus did invent SDRAM and its derivatives. DDR beat
RDRAM but Rambus got the last laught. Also, does this mean that we are back
to late 90's when personal computer manufactures had to spend $500 on memory
system since Rambus priced its RDRAM stick $250 each (you must use 2
together) and the price got higher every month during RDRAM's 2 year
domination period?
