To anyone that has dealt with the Arbitration process...please help by defining what is expected during the "evidentiary hearing' phase of the process...Below is the Nov 12, 2004 8k filing verbatium:
Nokia Arbitration
-----------------
As referenced in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K, InterDigital and ITC are parties to a separate arbitration proceeding involving Nokia Corporation (Nokia).
Commencement of the evidentiary hearing in the arbitration proceeding involving InterDigital, ITC and Nokia continues to be scheduled for January 2005.
To me, this phase is defined as follows:
“The purpose of an evidentiary hearing is for both sides to get a handle on the case beforehand. Sometimes it's difficult to know how to plan your case until you know whether certain pieces of evidence are going to be allowed or not. An evidentiary hearing, in essence, is a planning device.”
Thoughts? ...I don't see how, therefore, that a ruling will occur in January either way with regards to the RR for Nokia...
Your Friend,
