Rambus (RMBS)

[Skeptic]

I'm more than a little confused by the deluge of information in the last 2 days or so. Is it possible that the Micron motion to stay the AT case is not in reference to Micron's interoculary appeal but instead in reference to Hynix or Samsung who have/are both attempting to compel arbitration in the AT case? Micron is a defendant in that case so I would assume they can make motions to stay the case. I didn't think Micron would be interested in arbitration.

Next question - is it really a blessing if Whyte denies Sammie's motion to consolidate? That way the Hynix spoliation trial will proceed and Whyte will have independently evaluated whether Rambus has unclean hands? Rambus needs someone (other than McGuire) to say that "sure they shred some stuff, but none of it was relevant or would have disadvantaged the MMs". Then Payne could still come out with his crazy rulings and Rambus could straighten that out at the CAFC, but the Hynix trial would still proceed because it is a DIFFERENT case. Then there'd be an infringement trial or settlements or both.

That would be nice. We'll find out soon.

Thanks again JMKEL!
