Question is the lower the stock price is the more shares the management
receives free?
Management should be buying the stock right now, but their disregard for
where the stock trades don't speak much for management to me. Management
is supposed to make sure the comapny is ran good and profitable, but they
also have some duty to care about their shareholders and the stock price.
If the lower it goes the more shares they get then they hope it goes
lower.

I have been to the Regal theater this week, and to AMC and have not seen
1 coming events that showed Blood Feast was going to be shown this year.
Cam you provide us with a list of the cities and theaters that the movie
is opening in? I would hate to see there was no actual opening and or
merger, and if that should be the case Eric may become very good friends
with Bubba.

Thanks for working on this but one would think the company could
immediately know who makes a market in their stock. I hope they do great
but if one can't buy shares from their broker then it makes it hard to
buy shares.

Is there anyone posting here that can tell me who makes a market in the
stock?
I want liquidity and first no clue who to see to buy and for sure no idea
who makes a market in the stock and offers reasonable bid versus the
offer and can take on size if one wanted to sell size.
Thanks.

The company at this price should be buying back all the stock they can, or
have a announcement that would be the reason they couldn't buy in front
of this big news. The stock is dirt cheap only thing I can see that would
prevent them from buying would have to be pending news or incompetence.

Just 1 new license with back money will blow the sellers right out of the
water.
I don't think we have long to wait till we see that new license. I wish
they would have given a time frame along with some type of guidance on
the Microsoft settlement.
They are giving the stock away today. How many companies would you buy
that is profitable tons of cash and trading woth a P/E this low? You
would be buying it big time. This will pass and we will see a lot higher
prices.

One thing you or we have learned about the street is they don't care
about the future growth of this company.
They control the stock till some more big boys decide this is one hell of
a good investment and take positions in the stock. The P/E on this stock
as with all the cash and possible growth is absurd.
Don't let little things like almost $30.00 a share cash and very
profitable mean anything they are just trivial and for sure don't even
consider they make get more companies licensed along with back money.
Forget M2M and the Internet of things they are totally worthless
according to the street and Hillcrest don't have anything to sell just
a acquisition to have a acquisition. The future is non important and
profits who needs them?
JMO

This sell off makes no sense to me!!!!!!!
The company is strong financially with almost $3.00 a share cash. Growth
potential is humongous and we are selling off. The pure fact that IDCC
was seeking billions from Nokia and that doesn't include the additional
interest that has accumulated and the fact Microsoft and IDCC both agreed
to end litigation has to mean more money coming in. They can't end
litigation and be getting no additional money for the Nokia part and not
inform the shareholders that no money is coming from there pursuit of
money from Nokia. They licensed Microsoft and are doiog work with them
as we speak and that doesn't sound like IDCC would be doing this nor
Microsoft unless they have came to terms maybe pending on X happening
and when X happens that will determine the rate and surely the added
interest. I still believe a buyout may be in the works or sureky they
should be telling us more.
JMO
Mickey
At least IDCC knows they only have a little over half the cell phone market
licensed!!!!!!
Which leave a hell of a lot more money to come in if our license team
gets the licenses they should be getting. Then add on M2M and Internet
of things, and Hillcrest sure seems like the revenues going forward will
continue to grow. Wish someone had asked about the rest of the Microsoft
license. They didn't recognize my desire to ask a question but that is
nothing new. The stock is dirt cheap and should be bought. Cash on hand
is huge and with more coming things can't be all bad.

They can talk about the amount they beat the street but that doesn't take
away the cash on hand and the potential for a huge increase in earnings
going forward. Facts speak more than bull from these phony numbers that
they banter around. Facts aree there are tons of companies unlicensed.
Facts are microsoft/Nokia has been put to rest just we don't know the
final results but with all legal action by both parties dropped then it
can only be good for IDCC. The Internet of things is going to be huge
going forward this is a stock to own. Dividend increases will be
forthcoming, as the company has pretty constant expenses with a downward
slope on future expenses because of legal expenses dropping. Let us
not foget somewhere in the not to far future we will see a croporate
tax cut which is just bottom line profit for IDCC.
JMO

This earnings report along with cash on hand should push shorts in to
covering.
The stock is dirt cheap and they will believe it or not get new license's
along with back money. Don't forget the Microsoft with more to be
forthcoming. Let us not forget Hillcrest will generate money going forward
and we have a long way to go on the M2M and we haven't scratched the
Internet of things. Bill Riley is right on this will be a $150.00 stock
it is just a matter of time. Let us not forget there is over 100 companies
that neeed to license with IDCC. Foxconn I believe will have to sign
a license for what they make besides the Apple products.
Let me add that IDCC should increase the dividend by a minimum of .15
cents. Earnings will be growing litigation expense should be declining
and they have plenty of cash and with future growth a .15 cent dividend
increase will not crimp the companies ability to grow.
IDCC is a SCREAMING BUY!!!!!!!!
JMO

Just 1 lousy license with back money should put us at new highs.
It would show more will be coming and the market likes the future. Don't
rule out something big happening with Microsoft. When do we see a return
on the Hillcrest investment would be a good question to ask but as for me
I am bullish on this purchase and see big thins ahead in sensors and
robots.
The earnings was very good and time for another dividend increase of some
degree in my opinion. Stock should be trading in the $90.00 handles with
expectations of new license forthcoming putting it well over a $100.00
again.

I am not sure anyone has to provide a audit for a merger to be done.
If the 2 companies agree lets merge then who can stop it? I don't think
any audit will ever be seen but I also don't think it is imperative.
I think we all know that the quarterly reports by Eric were probably
lies, but I still think a merger can happen and they can tell you and me
to go to hell we are just merging.

Chill out my rear I don't want IDCC paying for worthless patents that
don't generate any new license or money. If you think they should be
paying good money for patents that don't generate any money then you
have that right but it don't fit my way of thinking.

How many companies will be paying IDCC for this technology and when will
they generate revenue. If they don't generate revenue then stop getting and
paying for patents that don't make any money. How many patents does IDCC
have that haven't generated a penny? If you are not smart enough to see
what is gpong to make the company money then resign as spending money for
spending money but getting no return is RIDICULOUS.

Dividend!!!!!
Since most of the stock is now owned by institutions, it would be
reasonable to think they will have a dividend reinvestment policy. If that
is true then they should have on he 26th around 1.2 million reinvested.
This is around 12,500 shares not a huge amount but they are not out of
pocket a thing just increasing their position.
The shorts will be paying if I am not mistaken over 2 million which is
pocket change to the big boys but could hurt if a small player shorted
a lot of shares especially if they shorted at the recent lows.

A good question for our analyst to ask is just exactly what is left in
regards to the Microsoft/Nokia part of the settlement that was to be
disclosed later. Shareholders are entitled to some kind of explanation
as to what has transpired that made all legal action by both parties
be withdrawn. Is it that it has been settled? If so then why not inform
us if Microsoft owes no more money then we again should be informed. If
it is ultimate of who actually pays the whole amount or is other parties
involved in owing a share or is a final buyout price depending on tax
consequences to the buyout affecting the buyout price? Something fishy
has happened and we are only getting the smell and nothing else.
I am saying maybe our board attorney's can make it clear but how can a
company just tell you we will tell you more later and get by with that?
JMO
Mickey
How much did Microsoft pay for a worthless company losing money?
I believe they paid around 7.5 billion and acquired a lot of liability
on top of it. So how much is a profitable company worth that has patents
you need and you owe a ton for back infringement on the acquired company?
Compound the value to Microsoft is no more payments, cross license and
the ability to monetize the use of IDCC in the Internet of things along
with the Hillcrest technology and I would put the value at close to
10 billion. The future is what Microsoft will be looking at and factor
the write down they get if they can write off the Nokia part and then the
savings on paying a license and cross license fee it would be huge.
Lets say I am right and Microsoft could acquire IDCC for half of what
I said IDCC would be worth which is 5 billion or roughly $145.00 a share.
Now if Microsoft indeed owed 3 billion plus interest to IDCC for the
Nokia infringement, then bottom line they would be paying just over
a billion, or pocket change. I don't think if Microsoft should buy IDCC
they would ever get them for 5 billion.
JMO

The question proposed was for not only you but for all board attorneys.
You however failed or declined to respond to the basic question of why
would both parties drop litigation when we are talking a huge amount of
money? If Microsoft paid that much for their small amount of infingement
compared to handsets sold by Nokia, and Microsoft absorbed the Nokia
liability when they bought Nokia, then the comments made by IDCC about
the settlement that and not exactly their words but the essence was we
got paid for the Microsoft infringement and we agreed to withdraw all
litigation by both parties and there will be more to this than what has
been announced. One has to believe the more to this has to be Microsoft
pays a ton more or Microsoft buys IDCC. If Microsoft was not going to
pay IDCC any more because they didn't owe any more IDCC would have to
of so informed the shareholders of this action. Why the delay is it
because Microsoft wants to get a deal done with the party that acquired
the Nokia division? I sure don't know but I have my opinion is there
either will be a big lump coming to IDCC or you will be a owner of
Microsoft stock.
Surely you must have some sort of opinion as to the action taken by
both parties and the comments on the settlement so far.
JMO
Mickey
Got a question?????
In dividend reinvestment programs, does the company buy the stock to meet
the reinvestment after the allotment of money or prior to the distribution?
I wonder how much will be reinvested under the dividend reinvestment
program? In 2 days the dividend will be paid and the shorts will be
paying the shares they are short dividend.

How about our smart board attorneys commenting on the Microsoft agreement!
It would be nice if some of you smart people could explain the action
taken by IDCC and Miocrosoft in regards to the money paid by Microsoft
and the comments made by IDCC about further action and both sides
withdrawing any pending legal action. To me it should mean 1 of 2 things
Microsoft is either going to buy IDCC out completely or they will be
paying how much I don't know. If it isn't 1 of these 2 then in my mind
IDCC is for sure ran by idiots.
Let me add this as this prediction of mine may be why the board was so
willing to reward themselves so good. Otherwise they would be just
raping the investors. So far they haven't displayed anything that would
justify the bonuses they are being given. Normally you have to do
something that makes it appear you have earned a reward and right now
they can't justify the bonus.
JMO
Mickey
Am I the last bull left on IDCC?
Even with our lousy license team I still see a brighter future and higher
prices. Hillcrest should produce solid revenues in the future. I think
the robots will be huge going forward and sensors will be another huge
demand.
Microsoft/Nokia must have came to some sort of agreement to drop all
litigation, what was it and when will we know? You don't just drop legal
action when you are seeking the amount IDCC was supposedly to be asking
unless Microsoft is a buyer of IDCC. Something had to be agreed on to
drop all legal action by both parties. If IDCC would get no more than the
Microsoft money and it was resolved they would have had to made a press
release stating such.
LG it is time for IDCC to get the damn money and a license or sue the
crap out of them this is a joke.
As for ZTR, Lenovo, and Xaiomi who knows then they settle, and for the
other over 100 unlciensed hire some more people that can get license as
this bunch is incapable of doing it. They have had years to prove they
are worthless.

Kind of confusing to me is what are all the new patents filed for!!!!!!!
Why do we keep adding new patents and yet so far they have been worthless
as no new license have been awarded especially with any patents that
have been filed for over the past few years that I am aware of.
If a patent doesn't produce revenue then why the hell are we paying for
and filing patents that generate nothing?

I may be wrong but I think the LG license expired in 2010. Merritt is
waiting on the right time to collect back money and license LG. It wouldn't
hurt my feelings if he would tell the shareholders what year he thinks the
timing is right. If they are infringing immediately is the right time.
I would have fired the best in class license team years ago. My personal
opinion is Loophole would have gottten more license in his tenure as a
shareholder than these clowns have done in almost 45 years or ever since
they started getting pay checks from IDCC as the word working just
doesn't fit.

I don't think I ever suggested the company tell us anything but the facts.
My comments are 1 we have a terrible license team and a CEO that thinks
they are BEST IN CLASS. As for what else I stated IF THE COMPANY COULD
PROVIDE DECENT NEWS MEANING SOMETHING THAT GENERATED REVENUE.
I don't know a lot about the convertible bond conversion but the stock
shows signs of wanting to go higher and till we see they have converted
something then they may have to cover. I find it hard to believe the
shorts control the convertible bond.

What you state would make IDCC the biggest idiots on the planet. The very
idea that IDCC would tout they are receiving patents from Huawei that
would generate no revenue is about as stupid of thing as I ever heard.
It would equate this to you selling your house and in exchange they also
gave you worthless swamp land and you can't get a penny for that land.
Just why would you ever consumate a deal for patents that are worthless?
I think Lando may have a good point but that still doesn't pay back money
owed to IDCC. These patents may have some use for future license but the
infringers owe for infringing IDCC patents in the past.
The not collecting from LG or filing for a injunction to stop selling
product is a damn disgrace to say the least. If Microsoft settled and
paid for what Microsoft sold then the rest should be paying also.
Microsoft has plenty of money to fight and the fact the Nokia part if
I am not mistaken still has to be resolved and all court actions have
been dropped by both parties speaks volumes that a resoloution will be
forthcoming. I know you don't believe me but Microsoft clearly stated
that IDCC was seeking over 3 billion for Nokia infringement. Now we
have a company that isn't licensed manufacturing handsets with the Nokia
technology. Remember Microsoft sold the Nokia handset division they
bought and acquired all legal responsibilities, now when they sold the
Nokia division did they have a provision they would be responsible for
the Nokia liability or did the acquirer assume that liability? I tend
to think Microsoft may still have responsibility as I find it hard to
believe a acquirer would take on that amount of liability.
I think that a huge amount of money will be coming in from a seetlement
of the Nokia liability and that is why Merritt has no problem feeding
big time at the trough.
I think ZTE has a problem since Microsoft settled and they was involved
in what ZTE is contesting. LG as I said is a disgrace as they had
licensed the technology and let the license expire but sold the handsets
and lost arbitration so what leg do they have to stand on?
Xaiomi and Lenovo in my opinion will have big problems with Huawei
signing and setting a precedent for the Chinese rate.

I say Merritt will have a hard time explaining at the conference call!!!
I could be wrong but the questions should be hard for Merritt to justify
no new license and no example of filing for injunctions against the

purchase of Hillcrest but his support of a license team is a disgrace.
A company that is primarily a license company that don't get violators
