Jul 27 2010: The ITC rules in favor of Rambus! Issues a limited exclusion order against NVidia!
Jan 22 2010: Double whammy! ITC Judge agrees with his staff and rules that
Rambus owns the ENTIRE memory market until at least 2015!,
namely, that THREE (one is enough) Barth patents are valid, enforceable and infringed (in this case by NVidia who follows the "JEDEC" standard...)!
This means that Rambus has patents for DDR3,4,5+ memory (controllers) that last until October 2015 (20 years from Oct 95, the application date)! By early August of 2010 at the latest, the ITC is expected to issue an exclusion order (and possibly a cease and desist order) to prevent NVidia products to be sold in the US, while an (unlikely to be won) appeal might get started. It's highly likely that NVidia will have to settle by then.
Valid, enforceable and infringed patents that literally cover MOST of today's memory systems in computers and graphics cards:
Barth '109: Method of controlling a memory device having a memory core
Barth '405: Protocol for communication with dynamic memory
Barth '353: Protocol for communication with dynamic memory
Jan 19 2010: Samsung settles, pays $900M over 5 years!
