Rambus (RMBS)

[smd1234]

hey guys - just wandered over from the Yahoo board.
it's a little calmer here so maybe you all can answer some questions, one general and a few about this intel announcement
--what if 17200 c'claim by IFX gets tossed as it should, I 'm curious what defenses IFX can raise in the case, and use to drag rmbs thru the mud - - assuming Payne lets them do it?
--on the Intel announcement?
# Duz the design rely/depend on RMBS's patented technology?
# If so, then what duz it mean to RMBS' ability to collect royalties if the Intel "device" goes to production?
# what duz it mean if it goes to production in '05 - - Intel pays zero beyond the 10 mil/qtr?
# But what about the mfr partner doing the production?
# Once the Intel / RMBS deal expires all production is subject to royalties?

TIA
