Rambus (RMBS)

hey guys - just wandered over from the Yahoo board


Steve D,

Hey, welcome to the iHub Rambus board.

Not a lawyer, but believe Infineon will be allowed to argue these defenses to infringement based on my reading of Judge Payne's Feb 18 opinion:

-patent misuse
-estoppel
-laches
-laches in the PTO
-unclean hands
-inequitable conduct in the procurement of the patents in suit

Infineon will be allowed to argue at least one counterclaim, perhaps two:

-monopolization
-California Unfair Competition Statute(to be decided)

You can read it yourself and decide:

Won't even try to answer your tech questions. We do have some tech experts on this board, but if you are soliciting their attention, our unwritten rule (sort of like JEDEC) is one fact question per post.

Of course, we do have an unspoken understanding among us that multiple thought-provoking questions can be the exception to our rule, but you won't find it written down anywhere.

You'll just have to take my word for it ; )
