Rambus Wins Pretrial Patent Ruling

Rambus has won a pretrial ruling that basically says memory makers infringed on an element of a patent covering computer memory. The case is scheduled for trial in January.

The ruling means Whyte “already found one claim for Rambus that they won’t have to argue,” Jeff Schreiner, an analyst at San Diego-based Capstone Investments who doesn’t own Rambus shares, said today in a phone interview. “It starts to narrow the focus of the trial. You don’t get jurors lost in the complicated nature of the patents.”
