RAMBUS Found Guilty of Fraud -- 7:53 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A federal court jury found RAMBUS guilty of fraud for failing to disclose its patents to the JEDEC standards body. The implications of this ruling could be staggering.
Infineon attorneys told Federal Judge Robert Payne Wednesday that they will file a motion, based on the jury's verdict of fraud, to have the Rambus patents declared unenforceable against the German chip maker.

If the judge made such a ruling, it could be cited as a precedent in the two other pending Rambus synchronous patent cases involving Micron Technology and Hynix Semiconductor (formerly Hyundai Electronics).
Naturally, RAMBUS will appeal. However, rounds one and two clearly go to Infineon, et al. Thanks Slashdot.

The Master comments: YES! They shoot! They SCORE!!! WhooooooHoooo!
