Merritt’s prediction must have been intended or Howard (at the very least) would have stepped in to soften the "expectations" of such.
By the way, under what terms would a new licensee be a second trigger for 2G rate or even a trigger for a 3G rate for Nokia to start paying?
If such a second trigger materialized due to the appropriate licensee, what affect could that have on the arbitration?
Spree, the article you posted does not say "idcc's stock price is overdone" but rather it says...
"There are a few things that make me believe that the stock price" "is well overdone"
it also states between those quotes that the stock is ...
"-- at more than 10 times annualized sales --".
Hence, it is a favorable article throughout.
Jim, you should not be too concerned, as perfection is not a prerequisite for success (or genius status).
InPlay: Interdigital Comm estimates raised at RBC based on strong Sony Ericsson

mschere, we bought a 2G Nokia 8250 around March of this year from China Mobile for about 1,550 RMB or 187 dollars .
OT bulldzr, most can't hit a home run every time.
OT JimLur I too was missed...I recently received your "page 9" email but failed to get the latest. I just sent you an email to comcast.
Dishfan, Great Post as follows:
"My view is that management has yet to prove they are good or bad - but they are facing gargantuan challenges and deserve our support."
rmarchma, if you feel inclined to use Learning's suggestions to which I'm responding, you may want to add the following after the last word "bring":
"rather than stifle innovations due to the absence of reward."
Learning...thank you for all that you offer.
Ronny, two small suggested changes to the last paragraph:
I think this debacle between Interdigital and Nokia would make a great David and Goliath story. Americans tend to love an underdog who is being unjustly treated. I also think that with enough adverse publicity there might be the possibility of a successful boycott of Nokia products. At least enough to make you feel some financial hurt, although not nearly in proportion to the hurt that your shameful behavior has already inflicted upon InterDigital. By the way whenever the Nokia stock price recovers some, I fully intend to sell all my Nokia shares unless Nokia once again starts acting responsibly.
Delete “by foreign giants”. (Last paragraph, 1st sentece)
Added “unless Nokia once again starts acting responsibly”. (Last paragraph, Last sentence)
Please send the letter. BTW, thanks, for all you do for us all.
witchhollow, in 1999, IDC performed work on TDD, which was only being PROPOSED as part of 3G. Therefore at that time, TDD patents were not yet essential to 3G.
Consequently, when IDC indemnifies Nokia for only the work being performed on TDD, they stated…
“This Section shall not apply to Patents or copyrights that are essential to the implementation of Third Generation.”
rather than…
“This Section shall not apply to OTHER Patents or copyrights that are essential to the implementation of Third Generation.”
In the 4th paragraph of the Nokia/IDCC TDD agreement, they state...
"Nokia desires to engage IDC to develop time division duplex ("TDD") technology, which technology is currently being proposed as part of the technological solution for Third Generation applications."
While “Assumptions” and/ or “Rumors” are guesses…
“Facts” are presumably reality and …

You said “Let Mickey be Mickey. We all still have to put up with AMS.”

I must be the water...sigh!
Anyone, what entitlement do "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock" type shares have that other types of shares do not?
sailfreeee, if Nokia's contract uses the same language for Dispute Resolution, they would first submit unresolved issues to mediation. Read mschere's post.

Thanks. It will be nice to see "3G" next to "contractually obligated".
Rmarchma and Blueskywaves or anybody, the estimated minimum of $46m (or 40 to 50) of recurring royalty revenue per quarter does not include a royalty on each 2G and 2.5G licensed product sold by Sony Ericsson, does it?
If not, I wonder how much that could possibly add to recurring royalty revenue for the years 2003 through 2006? Am I missing something?
Per the press release: For sales through December 2002, Ericsson and Sony Ericsson will pay ITC approximately US $34 million. For the years 2003 through 2006, Ericsson will pay ITC an annual fee of US $6 million for sales of infrastructure equipment. Sony Ericsson will, for the years 2003 through 2006, pay a royalty on each licensed product sold.
Ams, the company says Brogan has "more than twenty years of senior level mergers and acquisitions experience"...what background do you say he has?
Captain, how high is that threshold whereby when surpassed one stops managing ones money, that is, if one wants to preserve it?
Ams, here is Data's post...

Mschere and witchhollow...re contracts administrator (IDCC Job opening)
The first part of the job description..."Prepare, revise, review and negotiate non-disclosure agreements, vendor and consulting agreements." refers to "contracts formation", the developing, biding (when required), negotiating, conforming, and awarding of contracts.
A contracts administrator might be defined as someone who assures that duties and obligations of all parties to a contract are fully discharged. Ensures the work is performed as specified by the contract, the provisions of the contract are adhered to, proper documentation is maintained, and changes are properly addressed and incorporated into the contract. Monitors activities and performance while actively interfacing with all departments and disciplines who have a role in the process.
Hence, formation activities occur prior to and including contract award. Administration takes place immediately after contract award and ends at contract close out.
I'm happy to see that they need to mobilize additional staff to form future contracts and subsequently administer them.

quartzman, from the press release...
ITC expects to receive aggregate payments of approximately $34 million from Ericsson and Sony Ericsson related to sales of terminal and infrastructure products through December 31, 2002. For periods thereafter through 2006, Sony Ericsson will be obligated to pay ITC a royalty on each licensed product sold.
