Re: Patent Analysis


Hey docrew0,

You continue to impress. For a guy who says he only asks questions, you sure dig in and uncover some interesting facts. Perhaps one of the legal experts on the boards can give a read on what all this might mean.

re: 10) The time from Rambus's filing date of 5,243,703 till the time Alberta filed a claim with Payne is 13 years, 8 months and 10 days. “March 5, 1992 – November 15th, 2005

As a LL, wonder why this is important? With regard to enforceability, the relevant patent is the Alberta 5,361,277, right?

Know you posed the question in an earlier post. but did we ever determine the Period of Enforceability for a U.S. Patent? Based on the reference you cited, looked like 23 years from the application date for patents predating June 8, 1995 (17 patent life + 6 statute of limitations), but no one confirmed this.
