"Although it appears that the actions of Rambus may very well have been intentionally anticompetitive and deceitful, the language of this ruling should nevertheless serve as a caution for any company or individual that participates in or is a member of any standards committee. Regardless of the conduct of the company or individual, the mere membership in a standards organization may result in an inability to later enforce patents that claim any portion of the approved standard. Accordingly, participation in such committees should always be carefully considered and monitored at the highest executive levels of any participating company"
