De rechtbank achtte het ook helemaal niet bewezen de JEDEC die technologieën vermeden zou hebben als ze geweten hadden dat Rambus van plan was haar volledige juridische rechten voor die patenten te gebruiken. Ook tegenover het niet-afdwingbaar maken van patenten door middel van een vaag "disclosure" beleid sprak de rechtbank zich negatief uit.

Another issue of ex-ante disclosure is difficult enforcement, as Suzanne Michel, Assistant Director Office of Policy and Coordination of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) pointed out in her presentation. The FTC had found that Rambus Incorporated had joined and attended standardisation meetings of the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) in order to modify their patent applications to cover technology that was under discussion for inclusion in future standards. In the opinion of the FTC, this behaviour was deceptive, violated JEDEC's disclosure policy, and illegaly gave Rambus monopoly power.

Ein anderes Problem der Vorab-Offenlegung ist die schwierige Durchsetzbarkeit, wie Suzanne Michel, stellvertretende Direktorin des Amts für Richtlinien und Koordination der US-Bundeshandelskommission (FTC) in ihrer Präsentation darlegte. Die FTC hatte herausgefunden, dass Rambus Incorporated den Standardisierungstreffen des Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) beigetreten war und an ihnen teilgenommen hatte, um ihre Patentanträge dahingehend zu ändern, dass sie Technologien abdeckten, die zur Aufnahme in zukünftige Standards zur Diskussion standen. Nach der Meinung der FTC war dieses Verhalten betrügerisch, verletzte die Offenlegungsrichtlinien von JEDEC, und gab Rambus illegal Monopolmacht.

Un altro problema della pubblicazione ex-ante è la sua difficile applicazione, come ha sottolineato nella sua presentazione Suzanne Michel, vice-direttore dell' Office of Policy and Coordination della Federal Trade Commission (FTC) americana. La FTC ha scoperto che Rambus Incorporated ha partecipato alle riunioni di standardizzazione del Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) con l'obiettivo di modificare le loro applicazioni brevettuali per includere della tecnologia che era in discussione per essere inserita in futuri standard. Secondo la FTC, questo comportamento era subdolo, violava le regole di rivelazione del JEDEC, e dava in modo illegale a Rambus un potere monopolistico.

Outra questão da divulgação ex-ante é a sua difícil aplicação, como Suzanne Michel, Diretora Adjunta do Escritório de Política e Coordenação da Federal Trade Commission (FTC) dos EUA destacou na sua apresentação. A FTC descobriu que Rambus Incorporated aderiu e participou de reuniões de padronização do Conselho Conjunto do Electron Device Engineering (JEDEC) a fim de modificar as aplicações das suas patentes para abranger tecnologias que estavam em discussão para a sua inclusão em futuros padrões. Na opinião dos FTC, esse comportamento foi fraudulento, violou a política de divulgação da JEDEC e deu ilegalmente a Rambus o poder do monopólio.

Ένα άλλο ζήτημα της πρωθύστερης γνωστοποίησης είναι η δυσκολία στην εφαρμογή, όπως η Suzanne Michel, Assistant Director στο Γραφείο Πολιτικής και Συντονισμού της Επιτροπής Ομοσπονδιακού Εμπορίου (FTC) των ΗΠΑ σημείωσε στην παρουσίαση που έκανε. Η FTC είχε βρει ότι η Rambus Incorporated είχε προσχωρήσει και παρίστατο στις συναντήσεις προτυποποίησης του Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) για να τροποποιήσει τις αιτήσεις πατεντών της ώστε να καλύπτουν τεχνολογίες, των οποίων η προσθήκη σε μελλοντικά πρότυπα ήταν υπό συζήτηση. Κατά την άποψη της FTC, αυτή η συμπεριφορά ήταν απάτη, παραβίαζε την πολιτική γνωστοποίησης του JEDEC και παράνομα έδινε στην Rambus μονοπωλιακή ισχύ.
