To the delight of Rambus Inc.’s diehard investors, and groans from its many detractors, an U.S. International Trade Commission judge ruled in January 2010 that Nvidia infringed three Rambus computer chip patents. The ruling, which eventually led to a settlement with Nvidia, seemed to reinvigorate the licensing company, which has taken a lot of heat for its legal battles with computer chip manufacturers it accuses of copying its innovations.
Rambus and its lawyers at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett, & Dunner doubled down on the ITC strategy, bringing a second ITC case later in 2010 involving even more patents and even more computer chip manufacturers. The once-promising tactic now seems to be backfiring on Rambus, however.
