Rambus (RMBS)

[Skeptic]

If he feels his final decisions could be overturned later by not allowing Samsung enough time he may “agree to consolidate and postpone and reset the Spoliation trial.

Wow - you did nail this one - what's your prognosis from here on out?

I'm hoping Whyte's wording and reference to the VA proceedings means he's somewhat annoyed at the collective shenanigans and plans to only give Samsung an additional 30 days instead of the 90-120 they were hoping for.

Should Payne decide that his crusade is not finished, I'm also optimistic that Rambus can file an interoculary appeal on jurisdiction before the Time Machine is fired up. My fear is that on the same day that Payne decides this is an "exceptional case", he issues his treatise on why Rambus has unclean hands and is in fact the Devil incarnate. Not sure how Whyte would react to this - hoping he would ignore it.

I'm starting to feel somewhat optimistic which should have everyone here a little apprehensive. Like Threejack, I was happy to see Renesas re-sign - even Nic thought it was a big positive. I'm curious how much of the farm they had to give away to get them to play along. 5 years is a long time and given Rambus' recent litigation travails, I expect Renesas got a sweet deal- most likely better than the deal they had before. I'm afraid it will be a net loss to revenue, BUT it sets the groundwork for Rambus to collect from other companies using its controller IP.
