uncle, paying Royalties displaces the development risks to the developer, a very cost effective way to get into new products. The fact is that these companies often spend 10% of sales on internally developed products, half of which never materialize. Look at Gillette, they spent a billion bucks (well, $400 MM was supposedly the launching marketing blitz) to add a third blade to their shaver. I am sure they could have done it for much less by going outside and outsourcing this development.

OK, I am biased, I love royalties. it makes me feel "Rexial" (VBG).
