Rambus Loses Another Patent Ruling For Misconduct
from the and-so-it-goes dept
Rambus has had a ton of up and downs with its strategy of gathering patents, making sure industry chip standards are built around its patents and then demanding everyone pay up huge fees. There's been a back and forth over the questions concerning its questionable activities, but it had actually won the last few rounds. But, you can't keep reality down too long. Yet another judge has smacked down Rambus calling the company's actions "obstructive at best, misleading at worst," and saying that its patents were unenforceable. Rambus, of course, will appeal, so this is far from over.

Re: Judicially Challenged
You don't invent patents.
You can't tell the crooks without a scorecard and, neither, apparently, can this loopy judge in Delaware.
Huh? Rambus failed to disclose relevant patents pending while a member of the JEDEC, withdrew when it became obvious they would have to disclose their patents, went on a shredding binge after receiving their patents, and decided to go litigating. And the only opinion available that the shredded documents weren't relevant is Rambus's.
That's too convenient, and hampers the discovery phase for the defendants, which is why the judge ruled against Rambus.

Re: Judicially Challenged
Why can't Rambus just shrivel and die? I mean with all the lay offs and companies folding up now days, why can't the giant sliver in the side called Rambus just close shop. The world would be better off without them.

You don't invent patents."
To the original author we will give you credit in stating that fact correctly in that the patents may be invented.
Sorry to the respondent but patents can be invented and created out of nothing by lawyers filling patents based on nothing except their ability to be creative with legal word smithing with little regard to physical reality. By this same process one can buy a deed to moon acreage, participate in Nigerian 411 inheritance opportunities, or invest with Bernard Madoff.
