Two days ago Rambus won a US ITC case against Nvidia, which found the
company violated three Rambus patents in its memory controllers.
However, Nvidia doesn't seem keen to reach a settlement with Rambus, or
should we say it doesn't think a settlement is possible at this point,
hence it claims it won't negotiate with Rambus.
Nvidia General Counsel David Shannon believes it's not realistic to
expect an agreement between the two companies to be reached anytime
soon. “Rambus and Nvidia talked for eight years before
they sued us,” said Shannon. He stressed that the ruling will not
interrupt Nvidia's business. “Our customers will never have their
businesses
interrupted...Our position is there will be no exclusion
order.”
Shannon added that Nvidia has several options to prevent an import ban and that it plans to appeal the ITC decision in court.
