Rambus and Matsushita sign patent license agreement
Rambus Inc. announced it has signed a new patent license agreement with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., commonly known as Panasonic.
This five-year agreement with an effective date of October 1, 2005 grants Matsushita a license to Rambus patents for SDRAM and DDR SDRAM memory controllers. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these memory controllers.
"We have made great strides with our overall patent licensing program and plan to continue showcasing the value of our patent portfolio," said Sharon Holt, senior vice president of Sales, Licensing and Marketing at Rambus." Matsushita Electric also signed a technology license agreement with Rambus in 2004 for use of its DDR2 drop-in cell as well as its XDR memory interface solution.
