Rambus Sues IBM Despite USPTO Intervention
Patent troll Rambus is at it again, this time suing IBM to reverse ruling on a memory system patent dispute after the US Patent and Trademark Office intervened in an earlier case ruling that IBM's patent 2002 memory controller-related patent applications weren't infringing on its IP. Rambus maintains that US Patent Office's ruling that gave a clean chit to IBM was in error.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in the federal court in San Jose, California, Rambus said the US Patent and Trademark Office erred through a series of decisions in finding that a patent application assigned to IBM did not interfere with its own patent obtained at the end of 2002. "The board committed errors of fact and law in its orders, decisions, and judgment," Rambus said in its complaint.

But they didn't..Cause it's stupid..
That's why it's being heard in San Jose, CA...because it could only happen in the land of Fruits and Nuts.... LOL
edit: I bet they had spies in the JEDEC meeting room to steal DDR4 information then modify their patents to cover every-fucking-thing. Gotta plan ahead man.
So, I'm next? Oh... my... God, I'm shitting my pants! Anyone here's a lawyer? :laugh:
If you hold patents for something, speak up right when they are being used by someone else, don't wait until the entire industry has adpoted the technology as a standard before speaking up.
Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit
Have a nice day!!
