A judge at the U.S. International Trade Commission issued a preliminary determination finding that Nvidia had indeed violated three of the five patents -- ruling that the other two had not been violated. Now, Nvidia says that the whole patent mystery continues to be a subject ripe for rexamination by the Patent and Trademark Office -- which has consistently found the claims of infringement to be invalid. Nvidia says it will take the claims to a full commission for a final decision. You'll probably remember that these five patent infringement claims were part of a much larger suit that Rambus filed against Nvidia -- some of which were dropped earlier this month (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/rambus-drops-patent-suit-against-nvidia/). Will it never end?
