Samsung Electronics will pay Rambus Inc. $700 million over five years, and invest another $200 million in the chip design company as part of a settlement ending their legal disputes, the two companies said Tuesday.

Samsung will make an upfront payment of $200 million, and a quarterly payment of about $25 million for the next five years as part of the agreement, the companies said. Samsung also will invest $200 million in Rambus stock.

Under the agreement, Samsung also will license Rambus' patent portfolio "covering all Samsung semiconductor products, including a perpetual fully-paid license to certain DRAM products," the companies said in a release.
