Really!!!!! I see it way different. I don't care if it's Apple, Samsung or IDCC. If you're stealing IPR you should be punished......hence ceast & desist. JMO
I don't mind saying I'm long IDCC and have been for 13 years.....You?
I've placed my bets......you?
Would smack of protectionism
Just exactly what is wrong with "protectionism"? IDCC designs and patents IPR that is used in every cell phone. Why shouldn't these patents be protected? You smack of shortism!
The back is coming around, but not as fast as I want.
As a fellow IDCC investor, I'd like to offer a suggestion regarding your back. I'm not sure about what kind of issues you're having with your back, but my wife and I bought a "Sleep Number" bed about 8 years ago. My back hasn't bothered me since. Btw, I'm a 80 and wife is a 55.
I for one, wish I better understood all these terms. Please explain in laymen's terms. Thank you!
IDCC mentioned................
Apple vs. Samsung
Do you think Obama's veto in favor of Apple will affect these "deals" in short term?
Thanks Fish......I must have misunderstood Merritt's comments.
In the last CC didn't Merritt say there were a couple deals in the works? And I thought he said the deals would be inked near term.
Dmiller, is this guy a friend of yours.......very similar thoughts regarding IDCC. JMO
Yep, opinions are like a--holes...........everyone has one.
Oldog, You just happen to be one of my most respected posters here. I'm sure others feel the same. That said, what's your opinion of how Obamas veto of Apple/Samsung will affect IDCCs outcome vs Nokia, LG and the other infringers. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I agree with you, Mickey. The greatest country in the world is turning into a society of takers instead of makers. JMO
Nah........too many politics involved. Plus, I travel a lot for work and don't have internet access to monitor the board. But thanks anyway!
If IDCC loses another round or two in the legal system, then see what happens to the share price.
Same could be said if IDCC wins a round or two.
IMO, if management strongly believes that someone is using their Intellectual Property without paying for it, then you sue them and start the ball rolling, knowing that it takes a long, long time to finally resolve an issue, as seen with Nokia, LG, Samsung, likes. Why wait (years) to start the legal clock ticking. Why not start it now (multi-tasking via the courts systems)?
My thoughts have always been that "IF" IDCC wins against Nokia, LG and Samsung that precedence would be established and the others will fall in place and sign licenses. I'm thinking that Merritt and the boys may be thinking same. JMO
To be clear, IMO, Merritt is also smart enough to fill his own pockets BEFORE shareholders. Me still thinks the board is filled with self-serving greed misers. Btw, just think about all the money that has been paid to all the lawyers. JMO
IMO, Merritt is way too smart to go out on a limb and not bring results to the table. Me thinks something is in the works and will surface soon.
If anyone knows, it would be you!!!!!!!
I concur, but good luck getting Merritt and the boys to go along.
Yep, not long ago I was one of IDCC's biggest cheerleaders......not anymore. I'm just hanging on until something (even small) happens. If or when we get to $80 again......I'm gone and won't look back.
IMO, IDCC is likened to a flea on the backs of Nokia, Samsung and the other big boys of wireless. I seriously don't think these guys take IDCC seriously and now it seems the administration is taking sides with the big boys too. JMO
Is this not a public IDCC stock forum? If so, it's not rude to partake in ANY subject of conversation here. You yourself are fairly adapt at doing what you are accusing me of. Just sayin......
Nah, I'm not going anywhere and honestly it's not your place or business to tell me otherwise. Besides, as a long time IDCC'er, I've learned to wear rose colored glasses and drink the same cool aid as you.
Dndodd, you know that, as a shareholder, we have a right to criticize management as we see fit. For some very strange reason you are incapable of finding any flaws in IDCC's business model.
Let me ask you one question: Are you happy with the current share price?
Yep, how about all the pats on the backs and sweet bonuses after the Apple license? That license sure worked out well for shareholders, right? Talk about alignment.......yeah right!
Hmmm, maybe us IDCC shareholders should vote ourselves a bonus.
My dad always told me to never eat Baby Ruth candy bars when I find them in the neighborhood swimming pool.
So essentially 2013 is shot and we can look for sometime in 2014 to HOPEFULLY see something start to happen? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Certainly 2015 looks like a solid chance but then that's when we are supposed to start seeing $800m/yr revenues. Hmmmm.
Yep, owning IDCC is like being the horse pulling a cart with a carrot dangling just out of reach.......I wonder if we'll ever get to take a bite of the carrot!!!!!
Well said, Loop. Amen!
Come on Bill............spit it out. He's stumbling through this CC. Also using the word "STRONG" too much. JMO
The only thing I'll add to AMC's post is that during the "romper room" ITC hearings a lot of time is passing.....and I mean lots of time. What a waste!
BINGO!!!!!!! I would like to nominate this post as IDCC "Post Of Year".
Anyone have pre-market bid/ask numbers? Thanks
I guess we'll be chasing the dangling carrot awhile longer......
IDCC Real Time
As a long time shareholder (11 years), I've gotta say that I now know how the buggy horse feels with that carrot dangling just out of his reach. The horse simply keeps walking in an attempt to eat carrot. That said, I'm fairly confident that all of us will be able to take a bite of the carrot very soon. Hopefully the hammer will fall in our favor today......especially against Nokia who has been dodging this bullet for about a decade. Anyways, good luck to all IDCC longs.
Yes, plus I just read it again! Please explain what this has to do with our investment in IDCC.
Hmmm, just exactly what does this have to do withIDCC?
Like I said before, someone really 'pi$$ed off' Nokia when they had their 'venture' many years ago and Nokia has not forgiven them and have vowed to fight to the end.
Yes, I know the IDCC/Nokia venture didn't end well. IIRC, Nokia had the same kind of "knock down drag out fight" with QCOM. So I doubt IDCC is indifferent.......it's clear to me that Nokia likes to be paid, but doesn't like to pay. JMO
Yes, but wouldn't Nokia be more concerned with a "cease & desist" ruling?
Thanks Sons. I guess I'm hoping for better than 50/50 odds......more like 70/30 in favor of IDCC.
