RAMBUS and NVIDIA companies have already worked on several patents, connected with the memory controller device. RAMBUS asserts that some NVIDIA products disrupt the patents of the company, and therefore, commission for international trade IN USA should forbid the import of corresponding NVIDIA products.
Associate reports that the yesterday commission for international trade IN USA recognized the validity of RAMBUS claims on three patents from five. As a result the commission prohibit the import in USA of some microcircuits of NVIDIA production, which will be examined by the government of a country during 60- day period. In this time NVIDIA expects to obtain from RAMBUS additional license. This license will allow NVIDIA to continue the import of questionable goods.
