uncle, it might be good if we had an IP lawyer on board of this thread, since I think your assumption that MU can get a better royalties deal than the other DRAM people might not be correct. I have a vague recollection that in a case like RMBS, where the technology is licensed not on an exclusive basis, the structure of royalties has to be substantially the same for all participants in a given "fied of use". Namely, if the technology is licensed for memory in PC's and license were offered at 1.7% royalties, MU cannot get a break and pay only 1%. INTC was an original investor in RMBS and may have priority rights, but I am not sure they can transfer these rights to a company like MU in which they'll have only 6%. Once again, this is "vague recollection" and it would be great if an IP lawyer could comment on this for us. Zeev
