EXHIBIT B
G01
Degree of Fault
The classic case of bad faith is one where the litigant intentionally destroys documents for the purpose of hiding adverse information.
9/21/12 Order at 56 (citing Micron II).
The evidence does not show that Rambus knowingly destroyed damaging evidence. Id.
G02
Degree of Prejudice
Hynixs equitable defenses require clear and convincing proof that (1) the patentee had a duty of disclosure to the standard setting organization, and (2) the patentee breached that duty. Hynix II, 645 F.3d at 1348 (citation omitted).
Rambuss pending applications did not have claims that read on the SDRAM standard.
Id. (citing Infineon).
G03
Degree of Prejudice
Because Rambuss pending applications did not read on SDRAM, the only possible area of prejudice was Hynixs claim of a JEDEC duty to disclose an intention to file or amend applications in the future.
For example, there may have been JEDEC materials or documents indicating an understanding among JEDEC members that they would disclose an intent to seek patent coverage of the SDRAM standard. 9/21/12 Order at 60.
G04
JEDEC minutes do not support a duty to disclose intentions. Id. at 18-19. Sign-in sheets and ballots say nothing about disclosing intentions. Id. at 16-17.
G05
A: I dont believe anybody has said anything about future. I dont believe I have ever seen that in any of the patent policy wording I have ever seen.
12/20/2000 Dep. of JEDEC secretary Kenneth McGhee (625:20-626:4) (objection omitted). Admitted at Phase III trial.
