Im Prozess Rambus-Infineon hat das Mannheimer Landgericht einen unabhängigen Sachverständigen berufen, bzw wird dies bis zum 15. September tun.
Die Entscheidung wird von Rambus begrüßt, da in einem in Italien anhängigen Verfahren zwei Sachverständige einen Patentrechstverstoß durch Micron bejahen.

Press Release
German Court to Appoint Technical Expert for
Rambus versus Infineon Patent Infringement Case
LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2001--The District Court in Mannheim, Germany today decided to
appoint an independent technical expert to evaluate the infringement of Rambus' patent by Infineon Technologies' SDRAM and
DDR SDRAM memory products.
The independent technical expert is to be appointed by September 15, 2001. After the expert delivers an opinion, the
Mannheim Court will determine whether the Infineon SDRAM and DDR SDRAM memory products infringe Rambus' first
European patent EP 525 068, as Rambus has claimed in its suit against Infineon.
``Rambus is pleased with the ruling by the District Court in Mannheim,'' said Geoff Tate, CEO of Rambus. ``The independent
technical experts appointed by the court in Monza, Italy found Micron's SDRAM infringed Rambus' first European patent.''
Two technical experts were appointed last year by the Monza Court in Italy to evaluate the infringement of Rambus' patent by
Micron's SDRAM products. Their technical examinations lasted over five months encompassing all pertinent prior art
information and potential infringement of the Rambus patent by the Micron SDRAM products. The court-appointed experts
produced an exhaustive report, confirmed the validity of the Rambus patent in suit and determined that Micron's SDRAM
products infringe the Rambus patent. A copy of this report is located on the Rambus web site at http://www.rambus.com under
