In your mailbox is an update of the listing of our .S. patent filings the curcent number, including civisionals and continuations, iS 28 separate applications. Of these, 3 have issued, another 3 have been’ allowed and 1 still in draft form.” The balance, 31, are cuerently pending at the PTO. The 37 applications actually filed contain a total of Tle claims, 112 of which are independent elaine: Of interest, Rambus has spent approximately $540,009 to date on patent legal costs. This as about S14K per application. Since we have not yet, fed in many foreign jurisdictions. this seems high to me, In my experience, S10K was a good rule of thumb fora U.S. patent. We have a long way to go on many of our applications; it Looks like we'll be spending Closer to 520K per patent by the time they issue. Foreign filing will of course add (considerably) to this cost. sary RH 386264 R 233770 ‘OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY neon 2.16 eM "ex0731-001
