Dan, Please review the whole story. 20% of profits for IP might or might not be cheap, but 20% of the profits for 60/5000 of the IP is not cheap. Rambus want 20% of the profits when it owns 0.01% of the necessary IP. If you own the patent for time delay windshield wipers, should you get 20% of the profits from the sale of every car? This is a very good analogy, and is why I consider the Toshiba deal to be weird. The settlement appears to be way out of proportion. Rambus position as an IP company puts the whole system of checks and balances out of whack. DRAM manufacturers can't cross license with them or sue them, because Rambus has no product. Scumbria
