Rambus (RMBS)

[Skeptic]

Kent - I happen to agree with you. Cal stated in his report that only an EE would find yesterday's testimony from Murhpy interesting. The average person will tune it out. But everyone loves drama and that's what these jurists will focus on. I think it very hard to win on the merits in a very technical case like this - it's too boring and high level for the jury. Hynix is going to focus less on claiming that they don't infringe and more on creating drama and obfuscating and that is what the jury will focus on. I fear Stone would be better off painting Hynix as an evil Korean company and repeatedly yelling that "they stole from us!"

And the average Joe DOES resent people who have made a lot of money - especially when they feel it wasn't earned. Don't anyone forget what happened in Virginia - it's a different judge but the tactics are the same for Rambus' opposition - make this an emotional plea and distract the jury from the facts.

Personally, I expect a settlement after the completion of the trial and before the jury returns a verdict but for far less than what people are hoping.
