"The Rambus name is not only a trademark used to identify our technology, components and services, it also serves as our company name. When using the Rambus name as a reference to the company, Rambus may be used as a noun and no "®" symbol is needed. For example, in a press release, the following use would be proper:

"Today, Rambus announced a new generation of memory technology.""

In other words...please make sure to use our name as much as possible, so people out there think we're still a relevant tech company and not a patent trolling company.]]>Jul 11th 2008 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/rambus-still-around-sues-nvidia-for-patent-infringement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/rambus-still-around-sues-nvidia-for-patent-infringement/

Their less honourable behaviour was when asked "Do you have patents over this technology?" They said "no comment". This is not a clear denial, and frankly the lawyers from the other members of the council should have been all over them, but were not, and so now we get the litigation.]]>Jul 11th 2008 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/rambus-still-around-sues-nvidia-for-patent-infringement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/rambus-still-around-sues-nvidia-for-patent-infringement/
We probably have a lot to thank them for, but it's hard to give them credit for things when they just keep suing everyone.

Someone in the media is going to invest the time to educate themselves and then write a great expose series about the truth here. It will be easy to do because they'd only need to read transcripts of sworn testimony, trial and appelate decisions.

The story would include very unusual proceedings in the Federal Court in Richmond, VA, the FTC (what's new?), and the US DOJ Micron Amnesty Agreement.

It's absurd. There are no stones to turn 'cause it's all in the record!
