Somebody asked where one could buy EPIC here in the US, implying,I thought, that EPIC could be bought on European exchanges. Now, if EPIC is active in Europe but not yet in the US, is it possible that the millions of shares in question were purchased for and by EPIC?
It could be investment from Europeans through EPIC? I read somewhere that EPIC is active in Europe already.
Sammie.The Lincoln deal is like an equity loan on your home. It doesn't cost you anything unless and until you use it. If you wait until the day you need the money to strike a deal with the bank you may not get a deal quickly. With the equity loan you just have to write a check the second you need the money. What's not to like? I have had an unused one for at least ten years.
Where does one find silicone in order to make boules or ingots?
Also, please, can you tell us about the process by which the polymer used by LWLG is obtained
The movement of a stock over time is never on a straight line.
Is Karen Liu US citizen? By birth or naturalization.
There is a short interview of Lebby as the committee chairman on that ECOC site. He addresses the general subject of photonics, properly, without mentioning the lWLG inventions.
Shorts are very helpful if you want LWLG to rocket when good news come; meanwhile one can be adding cheaper to ones position.
Can LWLG technology be used/useful for quantum computing?
Yes, you got me interested at 1.45. Thank you so much, Paullee!!!
It was worth being on this board for near 20 years!
It sure does. Impressive. It will be bought soon.
It looks like UK (and Europe) is replacing Huawei with Samsung for 5g help which should be good for IDCC.
Somebody mentioned LWLG a while ago. It seems like it could be a good buy for IDCC before it gets too expensive.
On the official site of Avanci many licensors and licemsees are on their list that were not mentioned by that article, including Interdigital.
Easy Ghors, I know you are a lawyer and it seems like you have taken offense which tells me that I might have hit a nerve. I am sorry for that but it was tongue an cheek. Mostly.
Incidentally judges are layers too as are most politicians who become legislators and created the mess we are in now. Besides, the system I was referring to is not the one you are talking about, the founding fathers'. That's mom's apple pie. Today's system is a corruption of that one. Enough said. JR
The "system" is devised by attorneys so that they are kept in business. That's a fact! JR
FRAND. IMO as soon as litigation start The F comes off the FRAND, it is friendly no longer. It remains RAND and the R (Reasonable) prevails.
In my opinion it is "reasonable" to assume that the license price go up with the intensity of litigation. It has to. It should. RJ
Up or down movements on low volumes don't mean anything to long term investors, only to day traders. MO

The street's reaction.
Earnings after expenses were down compared to 4th quarter '11. That's all they see. The stock is down because of that. The street hasn't figured out IDCC yet and you can tell that from the mostly stupid questions at the CC. When BM was asked if he were happier (or some such)yesterday his answer in the affirmative was rather striking, I thought. What was the meaning of that?
Lack of clarity from management may have something to do with their court strategy. When IDCC finally wins in court earning will not be as lumpy and court expenses/overhead will be flat. Whether or not you believe that, place your bet.
My opinion only.
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. My hope is that one day soon Bavi could be given preoperatively as adjuvant chemo and also for down staging pancreatic and other ca. JR
Doubling ORR in stage IV pancreatic cancer is not bad at all!
Survival benefits are difficult to evaluate by MOS in a small trial such as this one. In addition to that, stage IV after radical pancreatectomy is a dismal situation I wonder how many pts in this trial were post-pancreatectomy. On the other hand the ORR results point strongly to the probability that Bavi would work well with earlier stages.IMO
JR
Best would be writing and article under the heading " Patent inventor IDCC is sewing LG, et al for theft of patents belonging to IDCC". Attack rather then defend.
JR
CAFC delay. I don't think that it takes 12 months to render a verdict on the case, but it may take this long to start working on the opinion after the backlog of cases has been cleared. Do split opinion cases take longer? Possibly. MO
RJ
I agree. LG makes all kinds of home appliances and electronics besides cell phones. JR
CAFC.
I think there is a good chance that the minority opinion's judge (if there is one, whichever way) is dragging his/her feet. MO
JR
Strategic alliance. I think it would take longer to complete than a sale. MO
RJ
50% of 3g or 50% of 2G+3G?
RJ
Or...the bidding is still alive...
FWIW I don't think the company can achieve maximum value by selling now. Even after Nortel and MMI. An alliance with a company with proven record as far as being able to monetize IP is in my view much better. I know that most of us are are old and tired of waiting, including myself. But we would leave a lot of money on the table if we sold now ( for peanuts ). I don't have any options going, so I am not afraid of a lack of a sale, in fact I'd preferred it. MO
RJ
It's all like a poker game. It's often a good tactic to start your bidding with "check". After the first true bid it'll be interesting to see how many are in the game. Mo
RJ
Miller. Really? You are concerned about my investement? So, is that the reason why you are making all the negative, i.m.o. baseless statements about IDCC? You worry about our investements? Sure!
But yes, I am giving management the benefit of the doubt. My agenda is clear. I am betting on IDCC going up. I am not here to socialize. Are you? What are you still here for?
No need to answer. Your agenda is also clear.

Apple/IDCC contract. Indeed, it was common knoledge those days, even before the first I-phone came out, that Apple would have blown all the competition out of the water. Didn't everybody know and expected then that Apple with their I-phone 1, 2 an3 as well as I-pad 1 and 2 was to become the leader of the smart phone revolution in a matter of a couple of years?! But of course, we all knew then!!! In fact IDCC took off on the news of the contract, remember?
RJ
jmspaesq. Criticism if constructive should be welcome."Venting" causes unnecessary heat, strokes and ulcers as well and should be avoided.
In that vein one should/could ask Clontz or Merrit: what inducement/incentive is offered Lg to resign the contract earlier rather than later. Time is money and there should be some penalty for the delay. The shareholders and Wallstreet would certainly value that very much. "yelling and screaming" about Lg not having resigned yet is useless and counterproductive.
That's all I was saying.
RJ
"Some criticism"?? Are you kidding?? All you have been reading is that this company is run either by incompetents, by liars or both.This is a small company, owned by a relatively small number of people and the decision of a few is bound to affect it more that would a Microsoft or even a Qualcomm ( average daily volume in excess of 61 and 14 millions a day ).Honestly, if you were a newbie looking to get in and knew nothing else of the company other then what you have been reading on this thread lately, would you jump in? Or similarly if you had just got in a couple of months ago, would you stay in or sell? What do you think?

Havana. Could you give us a link to more recent insider transactions than 2007? It would be nice.
In my view, if shares are granted as salary instead of cash, whatever number they don't sell is equivalent to buying on the open market. I agree that it doesn't look as good but it is equivalent.

Exactly! When Clontz or Merrit are speaking to the shareholders we, the shareholders, are not the only ones listening.
Does anybody really expect them to say publicly that it's all about Nokia or that it matters much when Lg resigns? etc.?
Do you think that Nokia, Lg and the rest of the gang aren't enjoying themselves reading the postings here during the last several weeks? I don't think it is smart if you are a shareholder to be complaining SO MUCH openly, repeat openly. It affects the company negatively more than you think. We're still small as a company, with a small number of investors. Right now most of the speculative investors (short term) have probably left us. Margin calls or simply prudence force them to sell. Positive news will get them back, I am sure. So, take a vacation. it's good for you. I am.
Of course, JMO

not necessarily. Assuming that their basic bet is long and therefore they have much more shares long than short, say a ratio of 1 or 2 to 10, if there were a significant drop of share price (value remaining equal) they could cash out their short position and either buy new shares at reduced price or keep the cash if condition requires it. That way they can as a minimum reduce the losses of their position in IDCC. Plain selling shares reduces your losses in case of following downdraft but it's a total different bet and changes the position on that stock within their total holdings, which they might not want to happen. With options you can do the same but they are I think more complicated and more "labor intensive".MO
RJ
Short position.
I believe that many of the institutions that hold IDCC long have also a significant short position as insurance against a loss of the ITC appeal. It's not the question of being wright or wrong but of being prudent. I also don't believe there are many purely short.That would be foolish, we all know or believe, I am sure.
I can't short on my plan but if you have an adequate time frame (I do) you don't really have to. MO
RJ
Why the drop after the CC?
1;The share price had a decent run-up from 23 to 28 and many traders sell on the news.
2; I suspect that lots of long term holders, including mutual funds sell covered calls and buy puts.
Simply said; traders and investors all want to make money and you cannot make money unless you sell.
Now, to each his own strategy. I don't trade this stock and I am sure I have missed on a lot of opportunity to make money in the past. But that's me.

This is fast becoming a bashers/shorters-in-disguise club. New investors cannot possibly be persuaded to buy with all this baseless negativity and useless whining. Keep it to one post a day and make it count, please.
