Page 2 of 8

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).

5

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.
