Rambus and NVIDIA Sign Patent License Agreement
Quote:Rambus Inc., one of the world's premier technology licensing companies, announced today it has signed a patent license agreement with NVIDIA.

The agreement covers the use of Rambus patented innovations in a broad range of integrated circuit (I see) products offered by NVIDIA. In addition, the two companies have settled all outstanding claims, including resolution of past use of Rambus' patented innovations. The term of this agreement is five years; other details are confidential.


"This is an important license agreement as it settles our differences and allows us to move forward with NVIDIA, the leader in visual and parallel computing," said Harold Hughes, president and chief executive officer at Rambus. "Looking forward, wee have the opportunity to focus on developing innovative solutions in concert with our licensees to help bring compelling, innovative products to market."

I don't see NVidia doing very well in the near future...

surely Rambus and nVidia settling their differences is a good thing that allows them to progress faster as a hardware designer and manufacturer.

This seems more like a temporary patch but I could be wrong.

RE: Rambus and NVIDIA Sign Patent License Agreement
I thought Rambus was basically some annoying patent troll going around pissing off tech companies...

EDIT: I wonder if it has anything to do with this: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/2...4E20120127
Quote:The last of three patents that tech licensing company Rambus (RMBS.O) used to win infringement lawsuits against Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N) and others has been declared invalid, according to legal documents.
