A bench trial between Rambus and Samsung on various claims and defenses is scheduled to
2
begin on September 22, 2008. At a pretrial conference on September 16, 2008, Rambus and
3
Samsung agreed to drop certain issues from the case with prejudice. Their statements are attached to
4
this order as Exhibits A (Samsung's pleading) and B (Rambus's responsive pleading).

United States District Court
Document 2210
The court accepts the parties' stipulation to narrow the issues in this case. The court orders
6
that Samsung's claims and defenses based on Rambus's JEDEC conduct, the conduct of Neil
7
Steinberg, and representations made by Rambus in connection with the 1994 RDRAM technology
8
and patent licensing agreements are dismissed with prejudice. The court orders that Rambus's
9
defenses to Samsung's claims – release, laches, statute of limitations, and Noerr-Pennington – are
10
dismissed as moot to the extent those defenses are based on the issues Samsung has agreed to
11
remove from the case.
