Could the letter to the secretary be an update of status (any change status maybe????...just hoping)? Is this case Samsung related of NOK related?
TIA,

This HTC growth should mean lot of $$$ for IDCC.

thanks magillagorilla. EOM

I am so used to the court house updates, that I am REALLY REALLY missing today's update. Now, we have to wait for any updates from IDCC (if they choose to do so)....hope there will be an 8K atleast (they had one for the original Batt's order and packaged it nicely with the negotiation update).
-vg_future
Thanks bulldzr for the article. Somebody should take this back to that informed QCOM analyst who said that QCOM could receive upto 4% or $12 on the supposedly $300 tag. So, I wonder what Foxconn would get to keep after they pay $12 to QCOM???!!!!
Probably this is not our problem to solve....but, I hate when people try to shoot down any seemingly reasonable estimates for IDCC while still posting other high end estimates for QCOM.

xdx, I don't think so. I remember having seen something right before the meeting (was it Sharp extension or RIMM license??).

gatticaa, just read rest of the chain and corrected my post. Thanks for the correction.
-vg_future
delete.

warbil, there has to be a day of justice. Out of all the infringers out there, NOK has hurt IDCC the most and it is the most unethical company out there talking from both sides (and I don't mean mouth). American judicial system is giving them a chance to abuse it and mock it at the same time.
-vg_future
revlis, thanks for the update. As much as I love any settlements, I really would love to see NOK in ALJ's court and ALJ apply his powers on NOK and I mean where it really hurts. Looks like NOK really pissed on everybody with its ways and I believe that the ALJ is really pissed off. NOK should pay for this and somebody should make them repent for their unethical and immoral ways.

MTJBKH, this has already been discussed here last week. The urgency for any Samsung settlement could come from the approaching hearing date in July. The date that IDCC announced in 8-K is the final date for the whole ITC Samsung investigation (kind of expected due to the pushed hearing dates) and I bet if we wait that long then we will probably get a lot bigger licensing rate than any settlement rate.
JMHO,
vg_future
So, is Reuters at it again trying to twist the facts and serve whoever they are serving? Is this something that IDCC has to follow up with them? I think last time, teecee sent something to Reuters guys and they corrected their story.
-vg_future
JimLur, I am not sure if I qualify to be worthy "others", but, it is a 10b-5 planned sale. So, he is not sending any message. Also, these plans are put well in advance....so, maybe he thought that one of the major ones would be done by now (going by the "major license by 2007 end" in the Nov, 07 CC).
Moreover, he already did the tax type sales last time. Why can't that be a positive message.
My biggest concern with your statement is (which by itself it is not a big deal...you are just expressing your feeling)...the kind of supporters it will attract and the non-sense, constant negative drivel they post.
my 2 cents,
vg_future
GAB...you beat me to it.

eyedeeseesee, that was a tax liability sale. It is a good sign because he is holding onto the rest of shares and this sale is just enough to cover the taxes on the total RSUs issued.
-vg_future
DesertDweller, I think IDCC clarified it for all the active shareholders here that it licensed "both" because it knows the kind of discussions that go on this board.....somebody on this board will say that the company is split into 3 and so are we licensed with all the split parts (if not for anything just to cast some doubt)?
JMHO,
vg_future
nessco, not necessarily regarding the side-ways. The side-ways one could be one of the bigger guys. I thought it was mentioned in response to a question about the tier-1s.
IMO,
vg_future
micktoo164, ??? Is there any new ruling in favor of IDCC?
TIA,
vg_future
loophole73, good one. Thanks. That should put an end to these constant scare stories....I never really cared....but, the constant pestering gets annoying. I want to see these so called shorts get squeezed.....as they one said on CNBC....a "squeeze in the shorts" got to really hurt.
-vg_future
loophole73, thanks for the response. I understand that now. I am only afraid of giving these unethical, culprit and arrogant folks more help then what the system is already giving them. Maybe I have become paranoid. But, their track record has shown that they will stop at nothing. I hope the ALJ shows them the door with some hefty fines (in fines or higher license rates) on their back.
-vg_future
I hope NOK didn't get these ideas from this board. There has been a discussion on this board regarding all the NOK cases and how each one plays in light of the injunction they sought for the ITC in front of Judge Batts. I am not underestimating NOK lawyers, but, I hope they are not using this board resources as their homework for defense/offense.
They filed for arbitration on April 1st after the topic (how they didn't file for arbitration while still claiming their right to that in Batt's court) has been thoroughly discussed on this board over that weekend. Even that sounded smelly to me, of course, IMO.
JMHO,

daddyking, old NEWS. EOM

dmiller, probably 5K (as I said I just gave a quick glance and didn't count them). But, it is not definitely all the 20K that traded afterhours.
My point is that it is looking more like an attempt to bring it down rather than some seller trying to sell.
-vg_future
paheka, I hope they get caught with their pants down atleast once.
-vg_future
dmiller, look again...100 share lots were more in 20.20 range and the big chunks were at aa higher price

The Ah action seems to be those famous 100 share bombs(coming to a total of maybe 2000 going by the quick glance...I didn't count though). So, could be simply blown away tomorrow during regular trading.
JMHO,
vg_future
DesertDweller, I understand what you are saying and I see his point too, but, I don't agree with the constant negative outlook (on the verge of being deliberate). That's what I was saying. The constant negative sentiment and jumping on anything positve made me make the "end of the world" comment.
I believe that all longs will be rewarded....traders could be right sometimes, but, they might not be holding the winning hand when the time comes.
JMHO,
vg_future
Oh boy, they are back...the resident stock gurus are chiming in that we will see a drop if we lose today (not really a loss if we consider that Samsung will be pressurized more....but, who needs the truth)or else we will get a generous $1 jump (so called tight range of 20 to 21) if we win.
When do they ever realize.....?????.....
JMHO,
vg_future
You guys need to chill out before you start panicking and postulating theories of eternal delay. NOK filed for arbitration, however stupid and unethical or insincere it might be, just as IDCC filed for a stay of Batt's decision while announcing substantial progress in settlement talks. Only difference is that IDCC is pretty sincere in its efforts.
JMHO,
vg_future
micktoo164, thanks. Good to know that he is still keeping track of IDCC.
-vg_future
micktoo, could you tell mickeybritt that it is the right time for IDCC this time around. I know that he would be following it, but, just in case.
TIA,
vg_future
revlis, I am not saying that staff report is not valid...I am only saying that they were against IDCC's request to modify its stand in response to Samsung's motion. This might not be an actual decision on 791 itself. I am not a legal expert and hence wouldn't understand most of the legal terminology....so, I am only trying to understand it, not correcting your conclusion.
TIA,
vg_future
revlis, thanks for the PMs.
Again, you are saying that it is a defeat in 791 and I am having difficulty coming to that conclusion with the available information on this board.
-vg_future
revlis, I apologize in that case. I thought your posts said 'panic selling' due to some staff's response, so, I was trying to get some clarification. Anyway, I have my fingers crossed for upcoming ITC events.
-vg_future
Thanks, EOM.

Blue_Horse_Shoe, English please...are we seeing the horse shoe which is good???
TIA,
vg_future
revlis, correct me if I am wrong...why should there be any negative reaction from the street for the staff's position? All I see is that Staff has not supported IDCC's request to make change in their presentation (argument) in response to Samsung's motion. It doesn't necessarily mean that there was a decision or recommendation by staff regarding the actual Samsung's motion. Am I missing something here?
TIA,
vg_future
Which end is talking in the recent Motley Fool article? I thought all their articles were supporting IDCC as undervalued stock. So, do they have split personality or is this how they weigh positive and negative?
JMHO,
vg_future
Data_Rox, thanks for the explanation. As I said earlier, any educative post will make sense, but, one liners that say it is interesting to find QCOM name in one article and at the same time arguing with anybody that posted links to articles (definitely more than one) that hinted at Apple and IDCC in the 3G world.
Yes, I am expecting some revenue from Apple 3G iPhone. I am not an expert to say at what level (chip versus stack). I don't take it in a wrong way when there is information. Thanks.
