1 Pursuant to the deadline set by the court's case management orders, Rambus served its final
2 infringement contentions on August 1, 2008. Two weeks later, Hynix and Samsung filed motions to
3 strike Rambus's infringement contentions as to GDDR5 SDRAM, their most recent generation of
4 graphics-specific SDRAMs.1 Rambus opposes the motions. The court has reviewed the papers and
5 considered the arguments of counsel.
6 The court grants Hynix and Samsung's motions to strike Rambus's infringement contentions
7 related to GDDR5 SDRAM. If Rambus wishes to pursue claims against Samsung and Hynix's
8 manufacture and sale of GDDR5 SDRAM, it may do so in a separate case.

Samsung also moved to strike Rambus's final infringement contention accusing
25 Samsung's memory controllers of infringing various patents. Rambus filed its election of claims for trial
on September 4, 2008 (Docket No. 2128 in C-05-00334, Docket No. 1077 in C-05-02298) in which
26 Rambus agreed not to pursue claims against memory controllers in an upcoming trial. Rambus and
Samsung agree that this moots Samsung's motion to strike for the present. If necessary, the parties may
27 revisit the issue at a later time.
