Rambus Acquires more patents...

Yawn.

Man they sure do have an excellent business model. Screw being innovative and advancing technology; let's just sue the pants off any company that infringes on our patents.

Is it their fault that the patent system allows such blatant exploitation?

^^^ Pretty valid point. If the system allows exploitation in some way, a group of people will always emerge to take advantage of it.

A case of unintended consequences indeed. Got to love that economic regulation! :roll:

technically, they were innovative and the other ram companies formed a cartel to engage in illegal business practices to kill them off... after which everyone just stole their technology.
Their remains were bought out by someone who knew better and who started just suing and suing everyone who was involved.
