2 D. LITERAL INFRINGEMENT AND DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS
3 Rambus asserts that, under the Court’s and any appropriate construction of the asserted
4 claims and their claim terms, every limitation of the asserted claims of the Rambus Patents is
5 literally present in the Defendants’ devices accused of infringing the claim, as set forth in the
6 claim charts attached hereto. To the extent that any limitation is found to be not literally present,
7 Rambus asserts that such limitation is present under the doctrine of equivalents.
8 Rambus hereby incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, portions of its prior
9 filings in this action regarding the doctrine of equivalents to the extent applicable in light of the
10 Court’s and any appropriate claim construction. See, e.g., Rambus’s 11/02/2007 Opposition to
11 Manufacturers’ Joint Motion for Summary Judgment (Farmwald/Horowitz), p. 23; Rambus’s
12 11/02/2007 Opposition to Manufacturers’ Joint Motion for Summary Judgment (Ware), pp. 17,
13 22-23; 11/02/2007 Declaration of Robert J. Murphy in Support of Rambus’s Opposition to
14 Manufacturers’ Joint Motion for Summary Judgment (Ware & Farmwald/Horowitz), ¶¶ 137-156,
15 162-165, 171-175.
16 Moreover, Rambus reserves the right to amend its infringement contentions to further
17 assert infringement under the doctrine of equivalents in light of the Courts’ claim constructions.

1 F. RAMBUS’S OWN PRODUCTS


2 This provision is inapplicable because Rambus does not manufacture any products that

3 practice the claimed inventions. However, Rambus designs, develops, markets and licenses high

4 speed interface technology. Rambus has become a key player in the semiconductor industry by

5 designing and developing innovative, cost-efficient technology for increasing the data transfer

6 rate between integrated circuits – for example, between memory devices and memory sub-

7 systems presently used in personal computers, communications networking equipment, digital

8 television appliances, and home video games systems.

9 Over the past decade, Rambus has developed advanced memory designs and memory

10 system architectures that practice certain of the claimed inventions and that have revolutionized

11 the way in which electronic systems access and store data. These include (1) Rambus’s XDR

12 DRAM, which provides unprecedented ability to span performance and memory capacity

13 requirements across a range of computing, consumer, and networking applications, including, for

14 example, Sony Corporation’s PlayStation 3, and (2) Rambus’s previous generation memory,

15 Direct RDRAM, which is used in personal computers, digital televisions, and Sony’s PlayStation

16 2. Prior generations of RDRAM also incorporated certain of the inventions of the asserted

17 claims.

18 Rambus licenses its patents, including the patents in suit, to various manufacturers of

19 synchronous memory devices, and others.
