Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Zeev Hed]

Someone was kind enough to send me the whole transcript of the Appeal court rulings, and that answered my question about the "bus" definition, and RMBS wins:

The specification and prosecution histories, taken in their entirety, convince this court that Rambus did not redefine "bus" to be a multiplexing bus in the patents-in-suit. None of Rambus's statements constitute a clear disclaimer or disavowal of claim scope. In these patents, the term "bus" carries its ordinary meaning as a set of signal lines to which a number of devices are connected, and over which information is transferred between devices.
In sum, the district court erred in its construction of each of the disputed terms. In light of the revised claim construction, this court vacates the grant of JMOL of noninfringement and remands for the district court to reconsider infringement.
