Micron-Rambus case reset to October

A U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Del., was scheduled to begin hearing part of the Micron case May 31 as part of a nonjury proceeding. Instead, hearings will begin on the original date of Oct. 29, said Micron representative Sean Mahoney. The case could be worth many millions of dollars.

The delay is so the court can review findings from a Virginia case involving similar claims between Rambus and Infineon. In that case, the judge threw out all of Rambus' claims, which alleged that Infineon violated Rambus patents in producing SDRAM, the most common type of memory used in current computers, and faster DDR DRAM. --David Becker, Special to ZDNet News
