Rambus the Patent Troll Seeks to Strike Nvidia
Posted 08/10/2008 at 12:44:37am
Perhaps you should investigate what you are saying instead of perpetuating myths spread through propaganda on the Web. The statements you have made in your article about Rambus are not only untrue, but your entire argument falls apart on the premise that a company can actually make money by suing. In fact the coffers at Rambus stay low BECAUSE of the lawsuits. In the case of NVIDIA attempts were made for 6 years to get them to pay royalties for Rambus inventions before Rambus threw in the towel and realized they had no choice but to sue to get paid for their inventions. There seems to be a widespread illness that is threatening the ability of inventors to develop new technologies....use it, but don't pay....you can get away with it. But not for much longer. If you study recent developments in court proceedings surrounding Rambus, it should lead you to realize that your characterization of Rambus is wrong. I can only hope that you then would publish a story that tells the real truth about Rambus...that they have been wronged for a very long time by crooks who have used their inventions without compensating them.
