Rambus (RMBS)

Hynix Responds

I am very puzzled. Not sure I can explain.
1st puzzle. Hynix is sueing Rambus, over what? Is Rambus getting Royaties on a patent that Hynix says is theirs? All I hear are SJ's on claims. Can Hynix have a claim on one of Rambus' patents?
Is it Rambus patents/claims in dispute or Hynix patents/claims in dispute? Is Hynix saying that Rambus is collecting royalties on one of Hynix's patents? Very puzzeled about this.

2nd puzzle. I thought that all that had to be shown or proven was if you infringe on one claim in the patent, you infringe on the whole patent. So, if Judge Whyte has made a SJ saying that Hynix has infringed on 29 claims in 4 patents, how can Hynix exonerate themselves by saying, 'so what, we got a SJ on 9 claims'. Are they talking 9 claims on Rambus patents or 9 claims on Hynix patents? Since Rambus does not produce anything, how can they infringe on anyones patent? It seems to me that since the SJ judgement says Hynix has indeed infringed, it does not amount to squat about what Hynix claims. If it is a numbers game, it is Rambus 29 Hynix 9, game over, Rambus wins.

So very puzzled about this.
Would some please try and help me with this puzzle?

Thanks,

Kent
