Annual Meeting attendees:
Don't drink too much tonight!
Ask all those questions the analysts never ask.
Don't be intimidated by Harry when he tells you to shut up and sit down.
Ask about Ericsson, Motorola, Apple, China.
I assume Bill will preempt any questions about Nokia by saying it is off limits.
Don't forget to report back to us.
Thank you for your help.
georgejjl, exciting stuff. Thank you
Ole Man IDCC ( used without a license on "Ole Man River")
I'm tired of suing but afeered of settling
that ole man IDCC jest keeps rollin along
georgejjl, The patent was awarded to Johns Hopkins. Do you know whether Entremed obtained a license from them? It is impressive that you found the patent.
vk707, I don't always understand you young fellers. I think you are being positive. Don't hesitate to clarify.
As for me, I don't day trade but I am at an age where long term investing better not be too long. LOL
rubberchicken, That is a well reasoned reply. Thank you.
Informed opinion needed. The results from ASCO, are they positive, neutral, or negative? Is ENMD a screaming but at $0.73 or not? Are we in the grip of daytraders cashing in? All opinions are welcome.
justwaitandsee, please explain what you mean by the date of his release is may 2008. I understand the report is May 2009 ASCO.
TIA
Is Anzalone doing a very good job? Lawyers, your opinion please.
Is he the best we have? Personally, as a non-lawyer, I find him unimpressive. TIA
Your honor, you didn't ask whether we are using Interdigital intellectual property. You didn't ask whether Interdigital offered to license their patents and at what rate. We are litigators and neither electrical engineers nor members of the Nokia licensing department. We know nothing of these matters. Fortunately, you have a staff to investigate these matters and inform you.
Note: This is a conversation that might have taken place when the court room was emptied. Any resemblance to an actual conversation is purely coincidental. However, I can't help wondering why the questions have not been asked.
Up 16%. Is there a preview or leak about the ASCO presentations starting tomorrow?
IDCC has licensed its intellectual property to about 50% of the mobile phone market. Does Mr. Levy conclude that Nokia is free to use IDCC technology because they have not been offered a license with a rate that is FRAND? Has he been informed by both parties about their confidential negotiations? If Nokia looks like an infringer, waddles like an infringer and quacks like an infringer, guess what, they are an infringer.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a Samsung, Nokia, Motorola or Ericsson product because if they cheat their suppliers, they will cheat me.
Very funny! IDCC has been in courts all over the world with NOK. Maybe the staff just might get a glimmer that NOK doesnn't want to pay for a license while they infringe IDCC patents in the USA. That is the reason we are here. There is a violation!
Confused again. Did staff decide no violation based on patent validity? Why does he say anything before the hearing even starts? It seems to me he might learn something if he waited. Can he change his opinion after hearing the arguments?
Can anyone clarify?
revlis, When will Wen get a license from IDCC?
They have Alferon which is an antiviral. I think it is a speculation that it might be useful against Swine Flu.
my3s, Is IDCC suing a Finnish baker for taking a cake into the John? Have you stopped baking bricks and now bake cakes?
Confused
Bullish. Breakout from a cup and handle. This on a down day in the market. It could be a sign that Nokia is Finnished. Ha!
Disagree about a dividend. The valuation of IDCC will depend on earnings growth. This needs to be demonstrated over a few years. JMHO
Motorola, I would suggest that they approach IDCC and sign a 3G licensing agreement. I am not suggesting that IDCC take them to court because they are doing poorly and not selling enough into the mobile phone market to justify the legal costs. However, I am of the opinion that Motorola needs the freedom to be as innovative as possible in the design of new phones outside the limits of their existing technology. I submit that for relatively little money they can gain the latest technology and technical assistance from IDCC. Interdigital would gain another big name as a licensee in their battle with Nokia and might even gain some respect on Wall Street. JMHO Any thoughts?
Chartists, we have a beautiful cup and handle which is a bullish formation.
nicmar, Can you explain why we appear to be pinned at $27? Selling comes in when we hit it and then we inch up again.
RonnieD, Give me a break. Israel lobby runs the US economy?
You lost your credibility with that one. Are you buying gold because of them or because of 50 years of government budget deficits,consumer debts and the collapse of the banking system?
Tuesday is the end of the First Quarter, the deadline for the Slim Chip announcement. I expect good news about some kind of deal which required all this time to negotiate. I don't believe management would deliver the double whammy of another write down after the late December blow. JMHO. What's yours?
Help please? On Schwab, I only see arca on the bid and ask. There used to be a number of firms shown and we tried to guess who was the IDCC buyer. Does anyone understand the new situation? TIA
revlis, Excellent. If that would result in a $25-30 million write down then I would expect no bonus for signing Nokia but a bonus when the new opportunity becomes profitable. I think that is reasonable in these difficult times.
I believe slim chip will survive. First, A big bonus at the end of 2008 followed by a write down in early 2009 smells like Merrill Lynch, even though IDCC remains profitable. Second, a write down of $25-30 million should preclude a big bonus due to signing Nokia in 2009. If a bonus were to be declared the smell would be even greater. So any write down of slim chip would not pass the smell test in my opinion.
What is your opinion? Is our management stupid or naive? I don't think so. They released a negative earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2008. They expected a negative reaction in the stock. I don't expect a write down of the slim chip now. They cleared the deck for positive developments in 2009. JMHO
Goodbuddy: That is very creative. However, I would prefer a phallic symbol.
I couldn't resist and bought today. Unfortunately, we are even lower now. It looks like panic selling. Over 10% of the outstanding shares have traded.
Interdigital projects first quarter 2009 recurring revenue of $69-71 million up from $ 51.4 in fourth quarter 2008. This should have been the lead on the Dow Jones wire. Instead, they led off with the decreased earnings and the decreases in licensing income in Japan. It is a sign of the times with the S&P average below 700. It is a great buying opportunity if you have guts and money. ( I am low on both. LOL)
Obama did it! He needed longterm IDCC stockholder taxes to balance the budget. Houston 100 will pay for improved health care for the country.
No news release on Schwab. If I didn't watch this board I wouldn't know about Samsung settlement. Maybe I am dreaming.
ebelog, you helped me decide to buy more. thank you
ebelog, you helped me decide to buy more. thank you
Why? Why did Interdigital announce the iWOW license this week?
Is it because they wanted to fill the void of no Samsung announcement or because the iWOW license would be ignored after the big Samsung news? I assume that the iWOW license could have been concluded with flexibility as IDCC desired.
The popular word these days is transparency. We don't have it and never did. Any comments?
I lived in KOP for many years. Is it possible that the Philadelphia Eagles are practicing in the parking lot between the Post Office and the Interdigital building? What if the Postman is a big black guy in a blue uniform named Jacobs. The Eagle Defense would never let him get through until after their Sunday game. LOL
My Korean is rusty since the time I froze on the mountain tops over there in 1952. The word day could mean month or year. I don't think it means century. LOL
my3s,I am watching QCOM drop 4% to $35.60 while IDCC is down 0.3%
at $26.93. That is not a coincidence. The news is about to break.
my3s, it is now 3:00AM tomorrow in Seoul.
