>> Yep, but they aren't royalty plays. I was referring to a Royalty Game, as opposed to a royalty play. Take the handset market (pleeeze). Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola all have claims to patented architectures, but the sector is clearly played under the rules of a Royalty Game. Dell, Compaq, HP, and Gateway each have patents, but boxmaking is a Royalty Game. The memory sector abounds with patents but, until the intrusion of Rambus controlling a widely adopted architecture, has remained a Royalty Game. uf
