Rambus Wins Coordinated Trial against Memory Manufacturers

Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS) today announced that the jury in the
case involving Hynix Semiconductor (000660.KS), Micron Technologies
(NYSE:MU), and Nanya Technology Corporation (2408.TW) has found in
favor of Rambus. The jury determined that Rambus acted properly while
a member of the standard-setting organization JEDEC during its
participating in the early 1990s, finding that the memory
manufacturers did not meet their burden of proving antitrust and fraud
claims. This verdict should complete the case involving Hynix. Hynix
was found by a previous jury in April 2006 to infringe a variety of
Rambus patents. In that phase of trial, Rambus was awarded $133.6M in
damages.

"This ruling should put to rest a series of ongoing allegations
Rambus has endured for many years," said Tom Lavelle, senior vice
president and general counsel at Rambus. "Our business is to license
our revolutionary technology to the industry for fair compensation. We
are pleased to have this decision behind us as we continue to engage
with the industry to deliver compelling products to the market."

The case with Hynix was originally filed by Hynix against Rambus
in August 2000. The Honorable Ronald Whyte split the case into three
separate phases with Rambus now prevailing in all three phases. Cases
are still pending against Hynix, Nanya, Micron and Samsung in the
Northern District of California, and with Micron in the District of
Delaware.
