Silver lining maybe: I think one thing we can thank Nokia for is because of their claims of insider selling last year that we did not see insider sales during the recent runup prior to the CC.

Z

amrwonderful: I am in agreement with Jim Lur in thinking a licensee is on its way. As I look at my paper loss, and beleive me it hurts, I also realize that IDCC has lost over a billion dollars, in stock prices, market cap and litigation/arbitration expenses. It seems to me the company will do whatever it has to do to stop the bleeding or capitulate and offer it up for sale. JMHO

Z

sjratty: I agree only if it is about 2G, but if IDCC can negotiate a comprehensive deal for the whole package, then settlement may be in Nokia's best interest. Here's hoping.

rmarchma; Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work, Our day will come. Hopefully before I die and only my inheritence recieves what we know will ultimately unfold for all the longs of IDCC.

Z

Looks like the closing is going to be brutal. Nas tanking

Z

If IDCC was ever a target for a buyout it will never be better than it is today.

Z

We certainly need some kind of change in leadership to get this company moving.

Brokers making calls to get their people out. Sell low, buy high.

Z

Just when you think there are no more negative surprises, IDCC is able to pull one out of the bag. See you all next year, I am putting my shares in the bank and forgetting them until 1/05.

Z

Are you still showing IDCC as halted?

TIA

Z

Why am I so nervous? eom

I am going to have a VO and raise my glass to you, heres hoping you are right.

Best

Z

how about 24.60

naz will finish green

z

Anyone want to guess the closing? I think we will be 24.75

Z

How many times in the last five years have we been thru this. Even this shall pass and we will climb again.

Time to turn off the computer.

Z

I for one am no longer looking forward to the earnings and conference call, it is obvious that someone in the know is selling hard. Is that you Howie? LOL

Nothing like a little humor on a very sour day.

Z

This should be a most interesting day, good luck to all. Z

rmarchma: Someone suggested on the board yesterday that interdigital may not want to have their 3g patents involved in a lawsuit, thereby giving other OEM's cause to not pay until the lawsuit is settled.

Z

Can someone tell me what Carpenter is estimating for 4th qtr earnings for 03. TIA

Z

Since the board is quiet I thought I would ask if anyone has an opinion of the after hours trades. Not that many but all in the area of 27.

Z

rmarchma: Thank you. You are among the best of resources on this board. Best wishes and good health.

Z

olddog967 Thank you for your response.

I guess I was wrong. I believed Nokia would have to pay something as a result of the arbitration. Because some of the more vocal and positive members of this board have not answered my question, I now believe that my friend is correct that arbitration could state the trigger event has not happened and IDCC will recieve nothing from S/N until they sign a major OEM for 2g.

Z

Perhaps someone can help me settle a dispute with a friend. Is it possible for the arbitration panel to decide that S/E does not trigger the 2G rate for Nokia and Samsung? IF so we return to waiting for a licensee to trigger at some future point.

TIA

Z

How about another freaky friday close! EOM

Let me try again. I am of the opinion that IDCC cannot "Lose" om arbitration. Nokia and Samsung will pay based upon some rate this year and not based upon the signing of another OEM.

True or false.

TIA

Z

Question for the board on Arbitration: I have argued with a friend about the Nokia arbitration. IS nokia saying that if E/S did not trigger the MFL that Nokia owes nothing for 2G or 2.5G until IDCC signs a contract with a major OEM?

TIA

easy come easy go! eom

Looks like we are in for a rocky start this am. eom

'Corp_Buyer' Amen! EOM

Does anyone know when the short interest will be posted?eom

TIA

Z

spider69' I will also be one of the ten remaining stockholders but I must admit I am 3500 shares lighter after my inept trading attempts. Live and learn.

Z

Looks like the buyer is back from lunch. eom

25000 block at 27.00 someone still likes us! eom

strange trading in pre market???eom

Schwabb shows news next to IDCC related to Cingular purchasing AWE at 15 per share???????

Z

rmarchma: Thanks, as always your posts are informative. Z

It has been stated on this board that IDCC will not sign for 3g until a company has settled accounts for 2g with them. I assume this is conjecture based on what we know in this public forum and not stated company policy. Please correct me if I am wrong. TIA

Z

bullrider;

That is good information, thanks!!
