7:52AM Court nears verdict in Rambus vs. Hynix dispute - EETimes (RMBS) 43.67 : EETimes reports a decision in the long and bitter patent lawsuit by RMBS against Hynix Semiconductor is expected to be rendered in the near future, perhaps as early as next week, according to sources close to the case. A spokesman for the co said closing arguments in the case were aired in the U.S. District Court in San Jose Thursday. On Friday, the jury deliberated the case, but it did not render a verdict, according to the sources. Co officials indicated that a verdict could be rendered next week. Both the spokesman and John Ward, an attorney for Silicon Valley-based Greenburg Traurig familiar with the case, stated that a verdict might be delayed until early next week if the jury could not come to a decision Friday. The spokesman said the co was seeking up to $868 mln in damages from the South Korean memory chip supplier for infringing patents related to SDRAM, DDR, and DDR2 memory. The case was filed in 2000 when the co accused Hynix of infringing the memory patents, filed by the co's founders Mike Farmwald and Stanford University Professor Mark Horowitz in the early 1990s.
