Question-and-Answer Session
Yes sir. [Operator Instructions]. We will go first to Jeff Schreiner with Capstone Investments.
Jeff Schreiner - Capstone Investments
Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate taking the time to take some questions here today. The first question I had is more directed at Tom, just in terms of where the company might think about heading with some litigation. And I'm wondering if Rambus has considered at this point, reliving the ITC for infringement based injunctions now that the removal of the Quanta claims at a District Court level has in fact occurred?
Thomas Lavelle - Senior Vice President and General Counsel
Well Jeff, as you know, I'm not going to talk about forward-looking strategy or plans or lack of plans in those kind of areas. Suffice to say, as we pointed out earlier, that we look at all possibilities and we will do what we think is best in the interest of our shareholders to protect our IP rights.
Jeff Schreiner - Capstone Investments
Okay. While you are there, Tom, just one more question for you. The Judge White, just to help us understand here, is there any type of rule or a federal level or California law that would require Judge White to wait on handling down an injunction due to the September 5th hearing requested by Hynix regarding Quanta?
Thomas Lavelle - Senior Vice President and General Counsel
I don't believe there is any rule that will preclude him from doing that. I think common sense may give him his own answer and I would rather not speculate on what Judge White will do in the case. We are obviously hoping for a positive ruling from Judge White on the injunction and I wouldn't begin to predict when and if that ruling will be made.
Jeff Schreiner - Capstone Investments
Okay. Just two more quick questions to Harold or Sharon. When would Rambus expect their Flash densities are going to be large enough to require a controller and could you say that at this time current versions of Flash are already incorporating Rambus technology?
Harold Hughes - President and Chief Executive Officer
Synchronous flash is shipping today and it’s synchronous serial, it’s highly likely that include Rambus technology.
Jeff Schreiner - Capstone Investments
Okay.
Harold Hughes - President and Chief Executive Officer
As we said on previous calls if that density goes up, which it does naturally in the semi-conductor business, the need for faster interfaces grows.
