Rambus (RMBS)

[cordob]

Hi Nordicprince:

on:
.however, it seems to me that samsung's agreement to pay royalties constitutes an implicit agreement that the rmbs' patents are valid and enforceable...especially in the absence of any verbiage to the contrary

We can unfortunately now know exactly what is in there. But it is very well possible that Samsung has this worded such that they are covered (given that there was litigation about the patents already going on then).

They could say: we are going to pay, but we don't ackonwledge patents unless proven in court in the current cases or something like that. The fact that they got a better deal later without significant opposition from Rambus indicates such.

We'll just have to wait how it all pans out. The wait can get long in this case. First case management conference in October.

Cheers
