Interesting. I keep intending to read more about this every time you post about it but never get around to it. From the inquiries I've made of other lawyers I know about the case, I get the distinct impression Rambus is not very well respected to put it mildly - at least amongst my non-scientific sample that admittedly may have some self-interest bias, and I am aware as you point out that they've been cleared of at least some past wrongdoing. Money tends to talk even if (like reputation) it really shouldn't and there's a lot of money lined up against them.
The little bit of antitrust law I learned in law school (and not well apparently judging from the grade I got) is much "reinterpreted" after the proliferation of Reagan/Bush I/Bush II judges. (When it goes in the other direction it's called judicial activism.) Antitrust defense used to be a huge profit center of the major business law firms. Today, not so much.
