I think you are sending a mixed message:
the reality is it must be measured objectively within the context of what value it provides to the licensee.

if anyone thinks Whyte/jury is going to equate Rambus with IBM they are going to be severely disappointed. ... If anything, showing this "evidence" to a jury of what the largest company in the world charges for their entire massive portfolio is going to backfire IMO.
What are you saying, that the size of the patentee matters, or is it the value to the licensee that matters?

Think about it: Rambus' "limited patents in a narrow field" are far more important to its survival than a boat-load of patents from decades back from a "technological collossus".
You remind me of the SNL skit some years ago, where the pawnshop paid "
Full sentimental value" for all used goods. Its nice to think something is critical to you, but the reality is it must be measured objectively within the context of what value it provides to the licensee. The value to a party to have a full license from IBM covering a hundred different technologies is an order of magnitude greater than the comparable value they get from Rambus in a limited field. I don't see the "IBM" angle helping them at all.

1548. The IBM Worldwide Licensing Policy sets forth royalty rates tfom 1-5% of sellng price:
I'm sorry, but, if anyone thinks Whyte/jury is going to equate Rambus with IBM they are going to be severely disappointed. One is a young upstart with limited patents in a narrow field (DRAM/memory controllers) and the other is a technological collossus with thousands of patents covering almost every aspect of software and hardware made in the past 50 years.
If anything, showing this "evidence" to a jury of what the largest company in the world charges for their entire massive portfolio is going to backfire IMO.
