sjratty, do you think NOK would state that they are negotiating even if they are negotiating while responding to IDCC's dismissal request. I thought that would give an excellent reason for the court to kick the case out...it would simply ask the parties to come back if the negotiations fail. Probably the negotiations stopped before that "no negotiations currently or planned for future" statement was made by NOK and they were not ready to come back to the table unless something changes on IDCC's side or stand.
AMHO.

sjratty, thanks for that...EVERYONE READ THIS.

To All, a poster on yahoo board was calling this release yesterday..but today he narrowed it down to specific....lucky guess...maybe...but, again people do have contacts.
http://finance.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=FN&action=m&board=4686767&tid=idc&sid=4686...
This whole release smells like pre-Ericy settlement news release. That Friday we had upward guidance for a previous quarter and then on Monday...down came the big one....so, looking forward to a really healthy Monday. Also, earnings on Friday....did that happen before....so, here I go again...HOPING....
GoodLuck All!

OT, bulldzr, my pleasure. EOM
Wishing you best!

OT, bulldzr, added few drops in the ocean (I am hoping that the contributions become an ocean with IDCC's victory).
GoodLuck!
-vg_future
Ghors, thanks. So, an infringement is an infringement (one or more)....I guess, IDCC might have thrown more in there to guarantee success.
Thanks again.
-vg_future
Ghors, Thanks. So, LU seeking PSJ is not necessarily a negative as some are imagining/portraying.
-vg_future
Ghors, If LU loses PSJ motion, can they still go before the jury for the rest of the patents?
TIA

JimLur, Thanks. EOM

IMHO, ASM date setting gives me confidence that "things" are going to be settled well before May31st.
GoodLuck All!
-vg_future
mschere, thanks. EOM
mschere, "Other News that came over the Wires...." , could you explain a little further as to what news made you think that NOK might have settled some of the 3G issues with IDCC already.
TIA
-vg_future
olddog967, yep, I didn't notice that. Thanks. EOM
olddog967, thanks for the clarification. Seems like the options that HG exercised today are from around 1997....so, they might not be ISOs, right?
-vg_future
DaveDavis, yes and I guess (our resident experts can comment with more authority) he booked a tax liability for (difference X 40000....it should be close to 380K).
That is pretty positive.
-vg_future
DaveDavis, my guess would be tax. Now, he has to pay tax on a smaller amount (if he thinks that the stock has bottomed and will start to go up....that is a good sign too) which is the difference between IDCC's closing price on March 31st and the option exercise price (6.57).
-vg_future
sjratty, when he exercised his options, the options are reported as disposed and now he owns the shares. Our knowledge base can correct if I am reading it wrong.
-vg_future
nieves, thanks for the update. Good to see some insider confidence. Let's see if they will be more.
Waiting for the payday.....
-vg_future
ellismd & olddog967, poster says that this is just released. I am not sure about that. I don't know if something has been released today. But, I think companies cannot just increase their contingent liability reserves to cover something that might have just happened. One of our accounting experts can comment, maybe.

jimmylee, thanks. eom
Any big blocks AH? I see that the volume has gone upto 501K from 421K.

rmarchma, cool. So, the whole JPO issue discussed before and during the latest CC has some wheels. Fingers crossed.
Thanks!

nieves, regarding QCOM estimates. Is that for this year? Where dod you get that info? I couldn't find anything on Briefing or yahoo.
TIA
-vg_future
nieves, thanks for that. So, SEC review under the new Sarbanes-Oxley law resulting in upward adjustment of revenue/earnings is a reality not just a theory. Kudos to all who have put forward the upward adjustment analysis.
-vg_future
mschere, yep, NOK never plays hardball when it comes to lowering of patent royalties (in fact they might even head that process, I guess). LOL
-vg_future
Anybody, what leverage can NOK have if they come to the table after an arb decision has been rendered? My guess would be that they cannot be given any discount on the awarded amount (assuming that it goes 100% or mostly IDCC's way), so, what good could it do for 3G rate negotiations? and on top of it, if ERICY signs 3G, then they will be in even bigger soup.
-vg_future
DaveDavis, thanks for the clarification. I was only concerned about interpretations later on. Anyway, IMO, NOK trying to settle after the arb decision might also be a possible scenario....but, I don't think they can get any discounts on the decided amount (assuming that it goes 100% IDCC way). But, again, anything is possible....at the end of the day...it is just business.
-vg_future
DaveDavis & All, Janet Point just returned my call and she said, as one would expect from any public company, that she absolutely CANNOT give the status and CANNOT confirm or deny any statement regarding any ongoing negotiations. Dave, I wish you could have emphasized more on "IMO" in your message. That message, for sure, caused lot of commotion today.
She also said that March 31st is an internal date for ICC and so, there will not (is "might not" a better word??) be any PR from the company regarding panel submitting their decision. I didn't ask her much. Just wanted to make sure that Dave Davis's message was 100% His Opinion.
-vg_future
JimLur, DaveDavis's post is causing enough pain and confusion...please, ask him to take it back or provide clarification (or you know what to do with the message).
TIA
-vg_future
JimLur, bashing the management and pointing out their mistakes is one issue, but, accusing them of some conspiracy could be completely out of line. Please, check the posts that are accusing management of conspiracy (I assume you know what posts I am referring to). This is a great information board and I don't want someone with some hidden agenda start messing it up.

DaveDavis, Texdraw & olddog, Thanks guys! EOM

Did IDCC really trade at 17.20 in AH? Anybody with real time after hour quotes (the delayed ones are not showing it yet)?
-vg_future
jaykayjones, thanks. Appreciate your time. EOM
-vg_future
ams13sag, go through some of the informative posts over posted over the weekend. That will help you understand what this late filing could relate to and what IC could mean.

JimLur, mailed you the pdfs. Hope you feel alright soon. EOM

loophole73, what does "material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002" mean?
Do you think much changed from what was said yesterday?

InterDigital expenses reviewed by SEC
Thu Mar 10, 2005 08:55 AM ET
The company said the resolution of the review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could result in adjustments of its current or past results, but added it would not affect the company's cash flow or underlying economics.
TIA.

JimLur, I saved the pdfs (in Japanese).
How do I send them to you? email? (what is your email id)
-vg_future
JimLur, sorry. did that give you a funny translation?
