Besides the majority deciding that RMBS didn't commit fraud, doesn't have to pay fraud judgement and SDRAM now may and DDR always may have infringed on RMBS patents, the dissenting judge's conclusion is brief and the point.


"In my opinion, the evidence I have identified in this opinion is sufficient to show that a competitor might reasonably expect that it should obtain a license from Rambus, regardless of whether or not any claim reads on the standard. For example, a reasonable competitor could conclude that Rambus could obtain claims reading on the standard or that Rambus had a plausible claim construction or doctrine of equivalents theory that is not readily apparent from a simple reading of the claims.
