DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Rambus Inc. (RMBS) said it reached a five-year patent license agreement with Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) covering some of the technology used in the wireless chip maker's products. Rambus shares climbed 9% to $7.98 after hours Thursday as the semiconductor technology company said its latest deal with Broadcom settles all outstanding claims between the two companies. Broadcom shares were up 11 cents at $29.88. Rambus licenses patented technology used to accelerate the performance of memory chips. The company suffered a setback last month when a California jury ruled against it in a separate antitrust case it had brought against Micron Technology Inc. (MU) and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. (000660.SE, HXSCF). Terms of the latest deal, which covers serial links on Broadcom's integrated circuits, were not disclosed. -By Drew FitzGerald, Dow Jones Newswires; 212-416-2909; Andrew.FitzGerald@dowjones.com
