Rambus found not guilty of fraud

Shares of RMBS soared on the news and it leaves the company open to re-sue Infineon and fend off an anti-trust complaint from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Rambus is seeking nearly a billion dollars worth of royalties from memory firms (the Dramurai) over SDRAM and DDR (double data rate) memory. It claims that memory companies using DDDR owe it royalties. A number of Dramurai has already agreed the patents belong to it.

According to Bloomberg wires, an appeals court in the Fed Circuit said Rambus had done no wrong.

Further, Rambus won't have to pay Infineon $7 million in legal fees. Last time we looked, RMBS was flying high at $11.41, up from its opening position in the day of $7.39.

The full judgement is here. µ
