| | CIOL : News : High-stakes memory chip trial kicks off (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | A verdict is expected to be issued in mid-April, and if Rambus wins, the jury could order Hynix, the second-biggest memory chip maker in the world, to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in back licensing fees and damages. |
 | | The case is being closely watched in the $20 billion-a-year DRAM industry because Rambus has similar suits pending with other memory chip makers such as No. 1 Samsung Electronics, also of South Korea. |
 | | Hynix is expected to argue that either its memory chips do not violate Rambus patents or that U.S. authorities erred in granting the patents. |
