Rambus NEVER sold computer memory. The founders behind Rambus invented revolutionary new ways to speed up memory systems and solved the cpu/memory bottleneck. They never planned on manufacturing but rather to license their intellectual property. A few very large companies; Samsung, Hynix, Siemens, Micron and Nvidia choose to not take a license and just incorporate Rambus’ inventions anyway. The law suits started and Micron and Hynix sued Rambus (not the other way around) on opposite coasts one day apart. Rambus is not and never was a patent troll but when your property is stolen from companies who had been presented the solutions under non-disclosure you defend yourself. Luckily for Rambus companies such as Intel, IBM and Toshiba took licenses and this gave them enough funds to pay the astronomical legal fees.

I am shocked at the heading of your article and it makes one wonder what the intention behind that heading is when the article contains completely false information!
