10% of the cost of goods sold on R&D doesn't seem too wild. That has to include all (hardware) product design and likely a good chunk of software development costs as well.

For NCR, a 'boring legacy' POS manufacturer that number is 6%, but they have a bunch of older existing products (founded in 1884!)
