Rambus still going strong, MediaTek the victims this time

Rambus are at it again, there never seems to be a shortage of lawsuits on their part. The victims this time are the company MediaTek. Rambus announced today it has signed a patent license agreement with MediaTek. Apparently this agreement covers the use of Rambus patented innovations in a broad range of integrated circuit (IC) products offered by MediaTek. In typical generous fashion Rambus have settled all outstanding claims, including resolution of past use of Rambus’ patented innovations. The term of this patent license agreement is five years. Other terms of the agreement are confidential, surprisingly.

Rambus had the usual spiel to say:

“Consumer demand for increasing flexibility in electronic products is at the forefront of disruptive change. We are pleased to sign this agreement with MediaTek, one of the global leaders in SoC systems solutions, to enable greater mobility and accessibility for consumer devices,” said Sharon Holt, senior vice president and general manager of the Semiconductor Business Group at Rambus. “We are committed to the development of innovative new technologies that help our licensees bring superior products to market.”
