Rambus Shares Rise on Ruling By BLOOMBERG NEWS Published: August 24, 2006 A judge in California has delayed the final stage of a six-year patent dispute between Rambus and Hynix Semiconductor, leading to speculation that the companies will settle and setting off an 18 percent gain in Rambus’s share price. Judge Ronald M. Whyte of United States District Court in San Jose, Calif., said on Tuesday that the third trial in the Hynix case, originally set to start next month, would not start until at least February. That would be after the Federal Trade Commission issues a penalty against Rambus in a separate antitrust lawsuit. Investors may be betting that the delay will prompt the two companies to settle, said Daniel Amir, an analyst at W. R. Hambrecht & Company. The F.T.C. penalty will result from a ruling the agency made this month that Rambus engaged in “deceptive conduct” to control patents for high-speed computer memory chips. According to a statement from Rambus, Judge Whyte indicated that the F.T.C. penalty could help establish royalty rates for the computer chips at the heart of the case and lead to a settlement. Shares of Rambus, which is based in Los Altos, Calif., rose $1.98, to $13.19. Quelle : http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/24/technology/24rambus.html?_… |
