Cohen is not only interested in limiting the term of directors.
He wants to elect a few himself, IMO.
And if he holds a bunch of shares, and "controls" another bundle, he's not only interested in an M&A fee, he wants a good price.
Should be an interesting ASM.
Mschere.
Now, all we need is a stockholder list, to match-up to the partnership list.
Cohen obviously got one.

The mind boggles.
QCOM is also in California.
Cohen has a couple of hundred partners.
Many of them are financial planners and accountants.
Methinks he "controls" more than 44,000 shares.
So. . .
Mr. Cohen appears to have an agenda.
He's surely not holding his shares for long term investment.
Very ineresting. LOL.
The Phoenix emerges?
Hook.
The partners are listed.

IQ.
After reading the complaint, do you get the same feeling as I do?
NOK's lawyers are obviously not amateurs, but their arugments leave the casual observer shaking his head.
Should be one of the more interesting filings in many moons.
That is, provided they file. . . . .
O'Dog.
A good end to a lousy day!
Poetic license.
That's often the way he posts.
Don't think it means a thing. But it adds a little humor to the day, and we always wait to see what he has to say.
One day he may be right.
He just showed up one day.
His posts are never more than a few words.
But I haven't the slightest idea whether he's connected.
From our little French poster on Yahoo.
Always a man of few words:

O'Dog.
Don't think so. Clerical errors, etc., are one thing.
But I think the rules say that NOK can also challenge for much the same reasons in my last post, such as fraud, partiality, etc.
What say you?
O'Dog.
Thanks.
Same ole, same ole, with a three month restriction.

"1) Where the award was procured by corruption, fraud or undue means.

Of course, if Jorma wants to get nasty, he might challenge the ICC before moving to circuit court.
Ghors.
Thanks.
This judge is either brilliant, or having a mid-life crisis.
I thought Loop said this was a bench hearing, with the judge deciding on validity, rather than a Markman.
Didn't Ghors say he thought the same, but was going to check?
Mschere.
Corrected.
Thanks.
April 18, Lucent's response brief.

Unknown: Results of appeal of Judge Lynn ruling handed down.

O'Dog.
I didn't know that NOK had 3 months to appeal an award, and I can't find such a clause in the ICC rules.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Jim/Mschere/Jeffrey.
Thanks.
I am now smarter than yesterday.
I'm no smarter than I was 15 minutes ago.
Everyone's talking about it, including NOK, but no one's explaining it. LOL.
Mschere.
If you would explain convergence, in a nutshell, I could impress my wife and all those who I talked into buying IDCC.
TIA
Bid now 14.91.
Most MM's are still not open.
KOP seems well aware of the Cramer group relationships.
Janet says, though related by corporate ties, the two entities are unrelated regarding their opinions and investment focus.

Guess they don't intend to poke the snake.
Loop.
Granted, a call from KOP would carry more weight. But there's no reason everyone can't get into the act.
Cramer's program is for small investors.
A few well-placed emails won't hoit, IMO.
The program is only as good as its "correct" predictions, and the honesty of its monitor.
Mad Money has been Cramer's dream for years. I don't think he wants to return to "dirt bad" status.
Great job Dave!
Cramer sometimes likes to kick his own a$$.
Let's hope he does it tonight.
I wonder how he rates Rambus?
The only company they haven't sued is IDCC.
I believe it's correct to say,
aside from the arbitration started by Nokia and Samsung, IDCC (thru Tantivy), has only started one legal action in the past 10 years.
MTS.
Fat chance. LOL.
Miller.
Could be. But I've watched Cramer for years.
He's always been a hip-shooter.
If you engaged him in a debate on the merits of the arbitration and IDCC's 3G potential, he wouldn't have a clue, IMO.
We could have a little trouble at the opening.
The bid just dropped from 17.00 to 16.00.
Although Cramer is kind of a nut, he has a following. And some of the boyz on the Street could be looking to take advantage of his comments last night.
Harball.
You expressed your opinion some time ago, on April 6th when you said:
"Most of the Posts Here are Meaningless Babble.
And endlessly repetitive discussions and debates about the same thing."
Nuff said.
Vbg.
Jim.
We've been having a little discussion on Yahoo about whether Jorma will settle or just let things hit the wall.
And it occured to us that, if IDCC wins the Award, a full settlement, including prepaying 2G for two years, and prepaying 3G for two years, could approach $1 billion, plus or minus.
This, of course, depends on an Award in the $400 milion range, including interest, etc.
If this is a possibility, it would not be an easy decision for Jorma. It would make a big noise on Wall Street, not to mention the boardroom in EspooLand.
Would any of your people care to take a run at the total tab for a "complete" settlement?
Danny.
Thanks for the clarification.
This happens to be a sensitive subject for me, and I didn't mean to preach.
Whether making business or personal decisions, if we all lived by the motto, "Do the right thing", we could all get an Award.
