And a shout-out to Data. Thanks!
Am I wrong to assume that this will create a short cut in legal proceedings?
Thanks Lime!
Thanks David!
"Microsoft has a bigger balance sheet, right, it opens up some ....."
Lime, I missed the part about how the Nokia/Microsoft deal will affect the IDCC/NOK case. Can you shed some light? tia
Data, pardon my ignorance, but what is ODM? tia
Nice little 4% positive bounce in the first 20 minutes. So far, so good!
Sheesh, talk about justice at a snail's pace.....whatever happened to "rocket dockets"?
Jim, Amen to living long enough to see fruition.
Thanks for your response. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
337-801,802,803,804 and 805.
Sons, are any of these connected to IDCC?
I thought that was humorous too. If I remember correctly, IDCC owns 15%-20% of 4G and LTE patents. I guess we'll find out how "essential" they are in the near future. JMO
I'm glad you said it. I was about to tell Jeff we've all heard it all about IDCC. His ranting isnt going to change a thing. Amen!
Nope, it's still there.
I'm hoping the odds are 100 to 1 against IDCC and IDCC wins by a nose.
Hey Sons, has Vegas laid down odds on this horse race? If so, what are the odds on IDCC?
Here's another one on Yahoo:
IDCC 8-K
Gungrey: Puzzled why the 8-K was issued by InterDigital for a date change in the ongoing litigations BUT NOT A PEEP ON THE SCOTUS DECISION BY THE COURTS.
Beats me, but I'm getting rather impatient with all the delays. Merritt better be prepared at the upcoming CC.

Just think we get 2-tenths of a penny for each one of those babys - hahaha
Hmmm, for some reason I don't find any humor in this!!!
For the old true longs some may add, but mostly they are just holding on waiting for the big day.
Yep, going on 13 years now, lol.
My thoughts are that service providers like AT&T and Verizon sell more than one brand of phone. If there is litigation against a manufacturer the provider would/could simply drop that line of phones. JMO
Regarding everything in, I imagine you look up at all things including IDCC. JMO
Good point! A ban on Microsoft phones would affect their bottom line, not Nokia. Is this correct?
Also keep in mind that the Commission knows full well that Nokia is in the process of selling its handset division to Microsoft and if delayed, could escape an ITC remedy (if there is a 337 violation).
Even if the commission is aware of the Nokia/Microsoft deal, how is this relevant? Don't the liabilities stay with Nokia after the deal?
Signal Trust transfer - 500 3G/4G patents and applications...valued at...?
I don't imagine it's valued at anything yet as IDCC is committed to funding Signal Trust as mentioned in the report below. Maybe I misunderstood the comments.....
InterDigital has committed funding to the Signal Trust to help ensure its successful launch. The Company will also be the primary beneficiary of the Trust.
Hey Juice, I'm not sure if I follow your thoughts but I bet uncle Billy will have plenty to talk about at the CC in a couple weeks. Another "wait & see".
No problem. Btw, I for one appreciate all that you offer here for us IDCC share holders.
Dog, I said "IIRC". An old guy like me has a hard time remembering details of a case that goes back a decade. My apologies!
Gungrey. That somehow makes it ok?. If you owe me a million dollars, and you offer me a hundred dollars, am i supposed to consider that an offer? Or a 1 finger salute?
Hey Nick, whoa.......I'm on your side. My best guess is that Nokia owes IDCC between $500M-$1B.
Sons, IIRC Nokia never denied that they owe us money........they are just disputing how much.
Jeff, as a 12 year long, you can't imagine how much I hope you are right. But I'm also a realist and know that IDCC is ONE small fry in a 50 lb. bag of potatoes. Do you really think the likes of Nokia, Samsung, LG and ZTE are going to roll over and play dead? Very doubtful in my view. IMO, there will be many more battles before the war is over.
Why does the Bloomberg news article about the SCOTUS denial NOT appear as news for NOK on Yahoo Finance? I only see it for IDCC.
IDK.......beats me!
What gives? NOK is up 5% and IDCC is down 2%. WTH
Have to agree with Fish. Nokia is the supreme master of delay tactics......how long has this been going on now..........about a dozen years?
Fish, like I said earlier, it's pathetic that IR wasn't prepared.
Finally...................
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-15/nokia-rejected-by-high-court-in-interdigital-patent-case.html?cmpid=yhoo
My favorite paragraph in the above release is:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which specializes in patent cases, said federal law “makes clear that the required United States industry can be based on patent licensing alone.”
Kind of pathetic when share holders have to nudge IR to issue a press release. I agree, IDCC should already have a release prepared. JMO
Is there a PR to substantiate this blog?

Watch for ANY news...
Been watching for about 12 years now, lol.......Ahh who am I kidding, it's not even funny anymore!
