With all this nay sayers and doubt seeders, it looks like the preview of "Scary Movie 4"....got a good chuckle. Who are or what are they trying to SAVE with these scare tactics?

Now that "HE" bought his charts will start looking all positive and IDCC is now a great company. Somethings never change.

loophole73, thanks for the legal insight. Much appreciated. EOM
-vg_future
laranger, Thanks for the update.
-vg_future
Just for fun. Unrobed means that the Judge is making sure that NOK doesn't steal the robes. LOL
With due apologies to the legal system and terminology.
-vg_future
my3sons87, I respectfully disagree. NOK not settling could be just because of some other reasons....not necessarily Jorma leaving the helm or his resume looking bad. Usually, as in the case of many organizations (though NOK might not fall under this usual category), a new CEO would start with a clean slate rather than a murky one. An outgoing CEO can take the blame.
In fact , for that matter NOK did get some advantages till now because of their appraoch and this delay and they could always spin it as a positive.
JMHO.

rmarchma, excellent summary...a minor typo
you wrote

It should be
On March 13, 2006, the Second Circuit ordered that the oral arguement of the appeal will be heard no earlier than the week of July 10, 2006.
Thanks for all your contributions.

Probably it was, I might have missed it. I read your next post. Thanks for the report.

Thanks e500. EOM
-vg_future
JimLur, thanks. I think e500 mentioned that the target was lowered. But, there was no link or anything in that post to verify.
-vg_future
JimLur, I mistook it as the latest one (one that would have been updated after yesterday's earnings report and CC) and I was wondering what he didn't like on the call. I didn't notice the date.
Thanks for all the reports.

JimLur, thanks.

Orientbull, thanks.

Anybody, did Frank Marsala up the price target?

Thanks, JimLur.

From briefing.com this morning (sorry if already posted)
Interdigital Comm: Previewing 4Q earnings: expect positive outlook on Samsung and Nokia issues - Nollenberger Capital (26.59 )
Nollenberger Capital notes that IDCC is scheduled to report 4Q05 results before the market open on Thursday, March 9. They say consensus estimates are for revenue of approximately $41 mln and EPS of $0.04. Firm is expecting about $42 mln and $0.08 based on their view that legal expenses have fallen off in the quarter. They think investors should be aware that the royalty revenue the co reports is associated with handset shipments from 3Q, as the co reports on a trailing-quarter basis to ensure accuracy and to be in accordance with the most conservative accounting principles. They also believe IDCC mgmt will provide more detail on the arbitration with Samsung and the ongoing legal dispute with Nokia. They believe a decision is near in the Samsung arbitration and that the result of that arbitration will be favorable for IDCC.
Desertdweller, yes, very strange. But, this might indicate that something is cooking and maybe about done. We haven't gotten anything from Barcelona either (usually we would see atleast one PR during the show).
Have my fingers crossed for next week.

e500, hmmm...making money....that is an implicit agenda...wouldn't qualify for my criticism. I am a long term holder and hate to see this discussions when the stock seem to be going up on a good day. I am afraid that it might scare away some potential new investors. It is hard to say who is genuinely concerned and who is pushing a proposal (not that the proposal is bad or a discussion on that should be avoided....only that people tend to present plethora of biased thoughts to win the discussion).
Goodluck!
-vg_future
sjratty, I didn't say that IDCC is taking decisions based on this forum. I said the information posted here could be biased so as to push someones agenda (stating something once is called opinion...stating it repetitively is called campaigning and that is where agenda comes into play) to convince investors one way or the other. I hate to see an informative board turn into a campaigning stage.
-vg_future
Guys, can we enjoy the ride today and put this COB stuff on the back burner till atleast ASM. We will have lot of other information available by then and we can make a better judgement. I hate to see some good posters take sides and start fighting as if this COB stuff is going to happen tomorrow.
Beware of the posters who lurk just to add fuel to push their agenda.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
All, let's enjoy the upgraded price target from TC and we always can and will have time for COB discussion later. Hoping this upgrade gives IDCC THE push and boosts the recent strength that it is displaying.
Goodluck All!
-vg_future
olddog967, agree 100%....with the recent announcement of reversal of the reserve, IDCC could have given an upward guidance to the earnings (usually done within 45 days of the end of the quarter as seen in the past....so, it should have been around Feb 15th). But, they didn't do it yet. Also, it seemed very unusual for the company not to come out with any PR during the show (especially since we had one 10 days before) and we had very positive indications from the show from our partners (so, product revenue soon). IMHO, something is brewing and my gut feeling says that we will hear something this week. So, this week should be really interesting (also, to the best of my knowledge the $25 strike price call options will also be exercised because they are 25 cents above the strike price...so, more buying pressure).
Thanks for all your data mining efforts.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
my3sons87, cool! I like it that way...non existent. EOM
-vg_future
olddog967, thanks. However, getting bonus might have been triggered by some positive event/achievement..........How about that
On a side note regarding todays trading....NOK is officially a non-event now. They can cry all they want till the axe falls on them.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
All, am I interpreting/reading the Form 4s wrong? I thought the shares were grants as a part of the bonus plan (not purchased). However, I am not sure why the 401K shares were also listed in there. I am assuming that they might have included some new share purchases in there.
Thanks!

MJPLIFE11, thanks. EOM

Anybody, is today the last day for the Barcelona show?
TIA.
-vg_future
Ghors, thanks. EOM
-vg_future
Ghors, thanks for your insight. I appreciate it. Is there anyway to find out if the clerk has already prepared the transcript?
Regarding the DE case, I understand that common sense and logic wouldn't apply when it comes to NOK. But, I still hope that the extension is due to some serious talks (since this is a 3rd extension).
Regarding your 50 inch TV, how about the whole enchilada! How about a high end home theater system to go with your plasma display? Hope your dreams come true soon.

DaveDavis, thanks. EOM
-vg_future
DaveDavis, sorry, I got it. It is in Delaware case. EOM
-vg_future
DaveDavis, is this tidbit in SDNY or DE case? What stipulation of time is it referring to.
TIA
-vg_future
all, regarding extension. It would be great to see things fall in place before or during the Barcelona show. That would be an excellent stage for any major announcements.
I am hoping that loop, Ghors or any other resident legal expert (Red Angus already commented and he concurred with the settlement talks theory) could comment on the latest extension.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
revlis, what would look even bad is asking for extension 3 times. If you have an idea of how long it is going to take for the scheduling order, why not ask for a 2 week extension last time itself so that you could avoid another request for extension.
IMHO, talks could be going on and pretty heavy (not as a formality). Ofcourse, I could be wrong, we all know how friendly NOK is.
-vg_future
lastchoice, thanks. Awaiting NEWS out of KOP next week.
-vg_future
lastchoice, yesterday there was a message from EdFerrari saying that a "Design Win" means production commitment as opposes to a "Design in" which is a prototype.
So, can we assume that this will be production.
-vg_future
Data, for a moment there I thought that IDCC and QCOM cut a new deal. Good media coverage, though.
Thanks.
-vg_future
e500, sorry. I got your post wrong. No offense.
GoodLuck!
-vg_future
e500, are you talking to me????
Had a good chuckle from that...do you understand what short means?
-vg_future
There is nothing wrong as long as it is balanced. He always talks about gloom no matter what. He tries to project any news as negative and earth shattering. Watch all his posts. How many times he predicted that IDCC will go down?
