We've been covering the story of Rambus' tricks to get itself a patent that covered a standard by sitting in on standards meetings and then modifying its patents to cover the standard. The rulings on the various lawsuits have gone back and forth on this, and while Rambus has had some wins and some losses in court, last year the FTC stepped in and smacked the company down, noting that it had used questionable means to get itself an effective monopoly on the memory market. Unfortunately, that FTC ruling has now been overturned by an appeals court that said the FTC failed to show evidence of a monopoly. This is unfortunate for a variety of reasons. If the FTC's ruling had been allowed to stand, it would have shown how an ill-gotten patent would be the equivalent of an illegal monopoly. That seems like the proper result, as a patent clearly is a government granted monopoly. So, if the patent is gained through questionable means, then that monopoly should be considered an illegal monopoly. Unfortunately the appeals court disagreed, and that will make us all worse off, as it will give the government fewer tools to crack down on abusers of the patent system.

Two years ago, a Virginia judge tore Rambus to pieces for allegedly shredding documents while preparing to sue rivals for infringement. On Tuesday, the Federal Circuit discarded Judge Robert Payne's order written during a patent fight between the chip licensing company and Samsung. The panel wrote that Payne didn't have the jurisdiction to issue the order criticizing the company's tactics. That's because Rambus had already offered to pay Samsung's attorney fees, effectively ending the district court case. ...

A U.S. court of appeas has overturned a 2006 decision by the Federal Trade Commission that memory and interconnect developer Rambus had violated antitrust regulations by failing to tell a the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Committee) standards organizations that it had patented technologies it would advocating for inclusion in new chips designs. According to the appeals court, Rambus would not have engaged in monopolistic practices if its intention behind failing to disclose the patents was merely to avoid having a limit placed on royalties collected from the technology.
