Experience
Micron Technology, Inc. v. Rambus Inc.*
Obtained a ruling after a one-week court trial at the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware that Rambus, the owner of patents covering synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) and double data rate (DDR) SDRAM memory could not enforce its patents against Micron. Rambus had claimed billions in damages. The court ruled Rambus could not enforce its patents because it had spoliated evidence and acted in bad faith.
D. Del., Judge Robinson
Rambus Inc. v. Micron Technology, Inc. et al.*
Successfully defended Micron in a true "bet-the-farm" antitrust case involving synchronized dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) and double data rate (DDR) SDRAM memory during a three-month jury trial in San Francisco Superior Court. Rambus asserted claims for violations of the Cartwright Act and sought $4 billion in compensatory damages, trebled to $12 billion under the Cartwright Act, as well as other relief. The jury rejected Rambus’s claims and awarded no damages.
Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Francisco, Judge McBride
