Rambus Comes Out of Dark, Sues Nvidia for Patent Infringement

6:23PM Kit Eaton | It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about memory maker Rambus, but the company has come back into the light to sue Nvidia for patent infringement.

Those chips sit inside all sorts of Nvidia gear, and apparently Rambus has been trying for a settlement for years. Now it’s using the legal system to claim cash for the damages. Bad news for Nvidia, but Rambus is still apparently trying “to continue discussions with Nvidia to reach a negotiated settlement.” I bet. [BusinessWire] More »
