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!

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.

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!

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!

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

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?
-vg_future
sjratty, enough already.
-vg_future
whizzeresq, even if people haven't drawn that conclusion, our resident junior attorney/IDCC thrasher will try at every opportunity to show them the light.
I aprreciate your input, I am in the camp that NOK will be settled soon...even if they don't, IDCC will sign other major players to show the world what NOK is trying to do.
-vg_future
sjratty, your high hopes/desire of seeing IDCC down clouds any legal expertise you have. All your posts till date clearly show what your intentions are (predicting a lower price at the slightest opportunity...doing it occasionaly might give some credibility). Don't claim this as your reality check...it is something else.....
ENOUGH ALREADY.
GoodLuck All Longs!
-vg_future
Dishfan, could that be related to any of the LG money for the prior usage?
TIA.
-vg_future
All, Any significance to the frequent reference to the SDNY ruling
From LG's release
U.S.-based InterDigital receives most of its revenue from royalties on patents. In December, a U.S. federal court ruled that Nokia Oyj ((NOK1V.HE)), the world's biggest mobile phone maker, should pay InterDigital between $232 million and $252 million in royalty payments for 2G and 2.5G technology.
Looks like everybody is giving weight to the decision. Let's see how NOK views it.
TIA.
-vg_future
sjratty, enough already. Your gloom clouds any valuable input you have to this board. I see the bid/ask creeping up.
-vg_future
DesertDweller, It would have been an excellent opportunity to catch the call writers and manipulators with their pants down. But, we have to remember that there is another player in this equation...LG...it could have been a request/decision from the other side too....and 285 mill is a pretty big number.
JMHO.
Good Luck All!
-vg_future
Test. EOM
-vg_future
DataRox, thanks for the clarification...I messed up my math for the earnings per share calculations. Pretty huge number, though.
-vg_future
Xavier, thanks for the clarification. 285 mil..hmmmmm
That's great. Can't wait for the upgrades.
It is not all about NOK after all.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
Great News, "LG is obligated to pay InterDigital three equal installments of $95 million, in
the first quarters of 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively". Does this mena it is 95 x 3 = 285 million or is it 95 total?
TIA
-vg_future
paheka, true, nothing can be ruled out and we have seen this type of rumors in the past.
-vg_future
Ellix, sorry for talking for loophole, I guess what loop meant was that IDCC should put an end to the threatened rumor by denying it (it didn't mean that IDCC started it).
JMO
-vg_future
I guess rumors have a negative effect on the stock....let's wait for the solid NEWS from KOP.
I hope I didn't jinx the price movement by posting that rumor from briefing.com
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
Takeover chatter circulating. Briefing.com
I don't have subscription....maybe someone can post the actual text.
TIA
-vg_future
revlis, thanks. I guess loophole also mentioned something regarding the hearing the other day. Thanks for the all the updates that you are providing.
-vg_future
revlis, was it originally scheduled for Monday and is off now or it has been going on now and there is no follow up on Monday? (when I read your original report, I thought you were expecting it on Monday and it didn't show up on the schedule)
TIA.
