Windsock,

The Rambus model is very different from Dolby. Dolby has a successful technology, which has become the industry standard. In contrast, Rambus' product (DRDRAM) is performing very poorly in the marketplace, so Rambus has instead decided to hold the SDRAM industry hostage with a couple of very broad, obvious patents that probably never should have been granted.

As the legal battles proceed, I think this will become more clear. Rambus percentage of meaningful SDRAM IP is probably about 0.01%.
