However, you have to read the fine prints to find out what the company has
won.

In May, Rambus filed suit in San Francisco, charging Hynix, Infinion,
Siemens and Micron collectively lowered DDR-SDRAM price to drive Rambus's
RDRAM product out of the market.

And still 1 more appeal to go before they even decide where to argue
the case...

When does the case to decide courtroom decor start? That's gonna be a
doozy! Will they be going with tropical potted plants, or not?

Waitaminnit! Didn't DRAM makers recently get soundly slapped in court for
price fixing - to keep prices artificially high?

Actually these are three matters. First, because Rambus's high price tag on
RDRAM forced all other memory manufactures to form an alliance and a new
standard DDR-SDRAM. Eventually the new memory drove RDRAM out of the memory
market because it is much cheaper than RDRAM.

Secondly, once RDRAM was no more a threat, the major memory manufactures
slowly raised their price. (There were many factors. But the major one is
that RDRAM is dead. Even so, even the most expensive DDRs are only one
third of what Rambus charged the consumers.)

Lastly, right now Rambus sued all other memory companies for the demise of
RDRAM. Also Rambus claims DDR uses their inventions.
