loophole73, buyout is not the scenario that I was thinking (but, I had to mention what happened in our case to show the importance of accelaration of option vesting). I am thinking that something is on the verge of happening.
I hope that the good NEWS of Delaware case will knock some sense into investors.

Anybody, opinions on the accelerated vesting of options? I have opined that this is typical of an acquisition (that's what has happened at the company that I work for). In case of IDCC, it might not be an acquisition, but, might be indicating something on the verge of happening. TIA for all your valuable thoughts.
-vg_future
Accelaration of option vesting...interesting...the place where I work this happened when we were bought out. Anyway, in this case, I strongly believe (IMHO...before anybody jumps on me) that something is brewing and is close to the finish (could that be finnish) line.
TIA for all your thoughts.
GoodLuck All.

nieves, from this NEWS release
However, Nokia contested the ruling, and filed a motion to stay the award. A federal appeals court later ruled in favor of Interdigital Communications.
This gives the impression that SDNY ruled in favor of IDCC. Did I miss anything?
TIA
-vg_future
loophole73, great. Thanks. As the word spreads we should be seeing some action next week.
IMO, IDCC also might be putting something out by next week.
-vg_future
my3sons87, really hoping for the big green one.
Let's see what's under that Christmas tree.........
-vg_future
my3sons87 & loophole, but the strange thing is that we dropped more than 2 points when this lawsuit was announced. I thought we could atleast expect those 2 points back in the stock. Maybe an 8k would have made more people aware of the fact that IDCC won another round.
I shouldn't complain....atleast we have a decision on our side now.
Merry Christmas All!
-vg_future
e500, I guess the uninformed remain still uninformed (not confused) due to lack of an 8K from the company. IMHO
-vg_future
OT mschere, the price of the radio would be 27 cents (25 cent + 2 cent that the seller took)...so
9 + 9 + 9 = 27 = 25 + 2
However, when you calculate the way you've explained, there would be a difference of 1 cent which seemed to have vanished...1 cent vanishing from a non-existent price of 30 cent...thanks for the brain teaser....
-vg_future
olddog967, Okay. Thanks. EOM
-vg_future
question, is it possible that the judge might have given the parties his decision (without the decision showing up on the pacer yet) or given them hint of which way he is inclining to facilitate/encourage any settlement talks? Or once the decision is given it has to show up on the pacer no matter what?
TIA
-vg_future
my3sons87, yes, labor is lot cheaper and that's the biggest plus.
-vg_future
my3sons87, close to 675 million rupees.
-vg_future
thanks olddog967. EOM
-vg_future
nieves, I too saw 2 blocks first and Ameritrade reported over 800K total share volume. But, now Ameritrade adjusted it back to 614K. Is it only one block reported twice?
TIA.
-vg_future
sjratty, enough already. Did you get hold of enough shares already?
When will you ever stop? I sincerely hope you learn your lesson one day.
There is a thin line between talking reality and spreading agenda.
-vg_future
GAB, Thanks a lot. EOM
-vg_future
my3sons87, thanks a bunch for the excellent report.EOM
-vg_future
Great board, thanks to MTS, DaveDavis, Guido and laranger for all the info and hardwork. Sorry, if I missed anyone. Thanks to all who bring valuable information to this board.
GoodLuck All for next week!
-vg_future
sjratty, you started the day with the "sky is falling and below 19 today" slogan and now you are upto a new slogan "won't cross 20 today". Why don't we just relax and see how the day turns out rather than guessing or pushing personal agendas.
Good Luck All!
-vg_future
sjratty, you should have waited before you started your spin on the update
http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh68752_2005-12-01_13-57-54_wna...
This looks definitely better than average analyst estimates
-vg_future
sjratty & revlis, from Mac Trader on the Atomic Board
Rev 39 to 42 million
Est. was for 39 to 41.8 million.
So, that is better than or inline with the estimates.
-vg_future
infinite_q, thanks for the response. Just read your response to revlis. Thanks again for your thoughts. Apreciate them. Let's see what time will unfold for us this time.
-vg_future
JimLur, Thanks for the update. Wouldn't this result in an upgrade? Something made them change their mind.
-vg_future
infinite_q, someone on the yahoo msg board was asking if LU has any 2g stack technology that can be used by IDCC. Since Merritt said the IDCC is trying to acquire the 2g stack technology, so, maybe LU can be ruled out. What are your thoughts?
TIA.
-vg_future
OT. revlis, I can see the graph/chart at the end of your posts. Did you fix it already? If you haven't done anything and I am still able to see it, it could be just the browser that is being used. Probably, the cache need to be cleared and the browser restarted.
-vg_future
DaveDavis, I thought your 35 mill expectations included IDCC's patents too. IMHO, the holdup on those is due to NOK and others.
Let's wait it out.
I am expecting an excellent report tomorrow morning.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
Thanks Dave Davis. EOM
-vg_future
revlis, this week should be really interesting. Got my fingers crossed for the much anticipated action. A Panasonic (JPO approval) icing would be great for the earnings cake.
Thanks for your response.
-vg_future
All, There was a poster on yahoo msg board who claimed that NOK is back at the table for discussions. It could simply be one of the many rumors that we had in the past couple of years (for that matter it is not even a rumor), but, NOK coming back to the table makes sense and logical (word of caution: many illogical things have happened with NOK) because they might not want LU trigger/set their rates.
Any expert opinions?
TIA.
-vg_future
All, what all (infrastructure/handsets etc) would a Lu license because of settlement/court decision trigger for NOK? Wouldn't NOK be in a hurry to settle rates on its own rather than someone else doing that for them?
TIA
-vg_future
olddog967, oops I missed your post. You've already posted the Harry's planned sale stuff from Form 4. Sorry for the double post. Maybe 2 or better than one to drive the point and counter the misunderstandings.
-vg_future
All, This plan was adopted back in June and that means that at that time nobody knew that NOK would appeal a binding arbitration. So, probably Harry thought that we would win and also NOK would pay and probably also Samsung by this time. This sale doesn't look like a recent decision.
The sales of Common Stock reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on June 15, 2005, as amended.
-vg_future
JimLur, I read olddog967's response to them with the correct numbers after I posted the message. Hope they bookmark that post. IMHO, it is going to be okay tomorrow.
-vg_future
olddog967, Thanks, I was looking for that number. Thanks for putting a stop to the mis-representations.
-vg_future
dmiller, ams, Harry DIDN'T SELL 1/3. He has lot more vested options. Do not mis-represent.
-vg_future
dmiller, Harry has more than 700,000 shares/options to the best of my knowledge (someone correct me if I am wrong). So, it is not 1/3 of his total holdings. Form 4 is just showing the shares in his hands, not all the vested options that he hasn't exercised yet.
He announced 105b plan last year, but, didn't sell anything in Dec, 2004 along with HG and Rip. He didn't sell anything during this ASM. So, he might have sold a little bit more after a long gap. That doesn't show his lack of confidence. There is nothing to worry about, IMHO.
Let's not over analyze.
-vg_future
Would someone please tell these thick skulls that this is a PRE-PLANNED sale (105b plan).
Please don't overreact and don't use this board to push your personal agenda (you know who you are...better back off).
-vg_future
nieves, thanks for posting the filings.
-vg_future
As per the Tantivy-Lucent pacer filings (thanks Dave Davis), one of the Lucent's motion was denied. I couldn't copy paste the order, but, here is the text
Lucent's motion to for protective order to bar Tantivy from disclosing certain confidential information to its expert witnesses (#44) is denied as moot.
Anybody, what is the significance? TIA
