Rambus Inc. has accepted a court's lowered damage award in a patent infringement case against Hynix Semiconductor Inc., the company said late Thursday. Los Altos-based Rambus said it elected the judge's reduction of a jury's about $307 million award down to $133.6 million. If Rambus had refused to accept the lower amount, the judge ruled, South Korea-based Hynix would be granted a new trial on the issue of damages. The damages award results from a San Jose federal jury finding in April that Hynix, the world's second-largest memory chipmaker, infringed Rambus patents on dynamic random access memory -- or DRAM -- between June 2000 and the end of 2005.
