Any thoughts on IDDC parternership with BKYI, AND How it plays into Apple negociations or leverage considering Iphone finger print scan feature??
Thanks!
Yes, My WAG as well.
Bought 10 calls Jun35 at .80 and sold all last week at 10.20. Didnt want to be greedy!
Go IDCC! IMO we may settle with Nokia and Micr sonner than later, even with the recent 1st ITC round politcal cluster puck.
Aren't all OEM selling phones Globally...Is their a OEM that has only Licensed for US only? I could be wrong...I would think you would use the 20,000 patents in every License opportunity being discussed. Of Course the ITC only deal with US, but we all know our goal of Global License with All.
IMO
I believe AMD just refilled their bank account with 3.5 million.
The must have something to consider.IMO
Won't that be something If LG settlement is announced in the CC Tuesday .
This makes 3 articles I've seen with this. Could they all be wrong?
Ford uses Microsoft System in their vehicles, Nokia and Microsoft in bed together.
Next few years IDCC may be asking Ford for a lic for there wirless connected vehicles....
Just a Thought.
I did the same but bought at .20 and sold .75 the next day. I looked at it yesterday afternoon, didnt want to be greedy so I locked in the 344+% gain. I only bought 20($400)Contracts...Net Gain over $1000 bucks, Ill take it.
Man that was cheap and fun!!! To think all the years with IDCC I would have made a Killing on Drops.
IMO
I think you are reading to much into this chart, Not about wireless cellular patents. Applys to Internet comm. service....And If you think IDCC scores so bad.... where is QCOM, MOT or nortel??? Way I see it, not where our focus is at this point. Great to be listed! Shows how Broad our portfolio really is.
IMO
Is there a date the Judge will make his call?
TIA
IDCC providing integration of uCAN® Connect platform and its modem technology to current and future licensees. Great! More options for more licensees paying us is what its all about!
IMO,JSpurgeon
This commercial agreement is a clear win-win for both parties as InterDigital gets access to certain parts of Option's innovative software portfolio and expert services while Option further commercially develops one of its strategic pillars, "Software & Services". The collaboration should also lead to further innovations of wireless broadband technologies offering benefits to the customers of both companies.
Is that 13 million Iphones per year, or quarter?
TIA
LOL, that's funny
Well I don't hate either one... I don't guess I really hate anyone or any company... that would be stupid. I hate things like when my feet get wet and cold in the winter... I don't care much for liver and onions either, but I certainly wouldn't say I hate tehm. Now a liverwurst and onion sandwich with spicy mustand ain't too bad... check it out:
If I had one of these sandwiches and you didn't I'll bet you'd be Jealous...
Yes Sir , Thats correct. Its preset footer when you buy the Iphone. You can go in and change it. But most people are proud its sent from there Iphone. LOL... I know i am its the best phone I've ever had besides my first or second Iphone.
JBS
TSTR Finally came out with there phone with AT&T. Looks like a nice ride for now. BTW there almost out of money.
I would think the money in the bank would be valuble asset/Insurance if we did lose to Nokia. If others decided not to pay us we would have a war chest to defend ourselves. But not a best case senario. IMO
For the bored, while waiting on IDCC.
TSTR is seeing some action lately. I think there satellite phone with At&t is getting ready to roll out.
You can still pre order, I ordered mine about 10:00pm last night. I contributed to the bottom line! lol
I highly recommend the Iphone even for you guys who don't use phones that much. Its so much more than a phone.
I don't believe its all about Nokia. It may seem that way at first glance.But Nokia is not growing as quick as the market demands. Therefore our other customers increase our value, as the projected earnings release states.
IMO
I believe that long term 3g success is "all about Nok".
I believe IDCC knows it but does not want to admit it publicly. I think the new business opportunities is another way to get at Nokia to make a fair settlement.
mo
Didnt IDCC state on several occasions as the standards mature and the patents expire this 1994 Q agreement is less important. If agreement was in 1994. How old are the patents in the agreement? Dont really know if this has an effect on Q and IDCC agreement. But one would think its relevent.

Pantech to Merge With Pantech & Curitel
Oct. 15, 2009 (The Korea Times) -- By Kim Yoo-chul
Staff Reporter
Pantech said Thursday that it will merge with its sister company Pantech & Curitel Communications on Dec. 30.
Pantech CEO and Vice Chairman Park Byeong-yeop said combining the two will help the medium-sized domestic group better compete with its bigger local and overseas rivals in the highly competitive mobile phone industry.
"The new entity will launch in December after the approval of our shareholders. Pantech will hold a general shareholders' meeting next month. No challenges and hurdles are seen ahead," Park said in a press conference held at Pantech's headquarters in Sangam-dong, northern Seoul.
For every share owned in Pantech & Curitel, shareholders will receive 1.312 shares in the new entity, the group said in a regulatory filing.
After the acquisition, the capitalization of Pantech will grow to 824.3 billion won, while the total number of shares will rise to 1.649 billion from 765 million.
With a greater corporate size, South Korea's third-largest mobile phone manufacturer is aiming to reap 5 trillion won or some $4.3 billion in total sales in 2013, up from an estimated 2.2 trillion won this year.
"The merged unit will sell 25 million mobile phones in 2013 globally. The ambitious target is achievable as Pantech will steadily introduce market-leading products in developed markets via solid strategic partnerships on a region-by-region basis," said Park.
In 2010, the group has set a 3-trillion-won in sales goal through the offloading of 13.5 million handsets. In 2011, Pantech plans to reap 4 trillion won in total sales from 19.8 million handsets; and in 2012, 4.5 trillion won, from 22 million phones, Park told reporters.
The merger plan and sales target comes after Pantech announced a ninth consecutive quarter in the black, since the third quarter of 2007. During the July-September period, Pantech made 41.8 billion won in operating profits from 555.7 billion won in sales, including the performance of Pantech & Curitel.
"As of the end of the third quarter, accumulated operating profits were 130.8 billion won. The merger decision could be interpreted that we are near to recovering corporate size before entering a debt rescheduling program," the vice chairman said, adding that the financial soundness of the group has been strengthened.
In September, mobile technology provider InterDigital agreed to grant Pantech a worldwide, non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license covering Pantech under 2G, 3G, LTE, WiMax, WiBro and certain other current and developing 3G-based standards.
In August, creditors of the ailing local handset maker have agreed to convert debts worth 220 billion won or $176.7 million into equity.
Meanwhile, U.S.-based chip giant Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) agreed to take a 15-percent stake in Pantech after agreeing to absorb more than $76 million in debt to help it expand its market share.
Since 2007, Pantech and its affiliate have been under a debt rescheduling program after they were rescued by the state-run Korea Development Bank-led creditors with 1.28 trillion won.
The company produces multiple mid-level cell phones and feature phones for the likes of AT&T (NYSE:SBT) (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) Wireless. (NYSE:VOD)
Pantech said it will soon also launch smart phones for the two largest mobile operators in the United States, as well as messaging phones.
"Now is the time for Pantech to put more focus on products. Bigger size doesn't guarantee success in the global market. The global share of Pantech remains around 1 percent," a high-ranking executive in the telecom industry said.
Pantech officials say the group is planning to introduce phones in Europe and China. Pantech is conducting its international business mainly in Japan and China. But its presence is not threatening enough to compete with bigger vendors.
Wow,whats up with this . Is it our Module? Wouldnt that be something.
My 3g Iphone works great. sounds like BS to me
InterDigital Prevails Against Samsung in ICC Arbitration Proceeding
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) announced today that the Arbitral Tribunal operating under the auspices of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in the arbitration proceeding between InterDigital’s wholly-owned subsidiaries InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation (InterDigital) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung) has issued a Partial Final Award. Among its determinations, the Tribunal concluded that the April 2006 Nokia-InterDigital settlement agreement does not affect Samsung’s royalty obligations to InterDigital for the sale of single mode 2G GSM/TDMA and 2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE terminal units ("covered products”) through 2006 as set forth in the prior September 2006 arbitration award. Under the September 2006 award, Samsung was ordered to pay approximately $134 million plus interest for sales of covered products through 2005. The September 2006 award also provided the royalty rate to be applied for Samsung’s sales of covered products for 2006. The total amount of royalties for 2006 will be determined by the Tribunal at a later date. "We are pleased that the Tribunal’s decision confirms our view that Samsung’s legal challenges amounted to conscious gamesmanship and that the previous arbitration award is not open to any meaningful challenge,” said Lawrence F. Shay, President of Patent Licensing. "We are also confident that Samsung’s appeal of the September 2006 award before the Second Circuit will fail and that InterDigital will be paid the amounts owed.” The Second Circuit appeal was filed by Samsung in December 2007 and secured by Samsung’s posting of a bond in the amount of approximately $166.7 million. In May 2008, the Second Circuit granted Samsung’s motion to stay its appeal pending receipt of this Partial Final Award. Samsung has now withdrawn its opposition to a motion previously filed by InterDigital to vacate the stay in the Second Circuit. William J. Merritt, InterDigital’s President and Chief Executive Officer, added: "This decision, combined with the positive decision from the Second Circuit regarding Nokia reported earlier today, and what we believe was a very successful evidentiary hearing before the U.S. International Trade Commission regarding Samsung’s infringement of InterDigital’s 3G patents earlier this month, continue to provide the appropriate incentives to all parties to find an amicable resolution to the current patent licensing disputes.” About InterDigital InterDigital designs, develops and provides advanced wireless technologies and products that drive voice and data communications. InterDigital is a leading contributor to the global wireless standards and holds a strong portfolio of patented technologies which it licenses to manufacturers of 2G, 2.5G, 3G, and 802 products worldwide.

Reuters Summit-Kyocera sees 05/06 loss at N.America handset unit
TOKYO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Kyocera Corp.'s <6971.T> North American cellphone manufacturing unit is expected to post a loss this business year, missing its original target of breaking even, the Japanese printers-to-cellphones conglomerate said on Tuesday.
The unit, Kyocera Wireless Corp, has been struggling with losses since Kyocera bought it from U.S. wireless technology company Qualcomm Inc. in February 2000.
To turn around the loss-making unit, Kyocera is outsourcing its North American mobile phone production to Singapore-based Flextronics International Ltd. .
The unit, however, is turning profitable in September on a monthly basis, excluding one-off items, and it will be able to achieve a pretax profit margin of 7 to 8 percent within a year or two, Kyocera Chief Executive Yasuo Nishiguchi said at the Reuters Asia Technology and Telecoms Summit in Tokyo.
Kyocera's sales in the fiscal first half to Sept. 30 are likely to come in 4 to 5 percent below its internal target, but its pretax profit for the six months is expected to be roughly in line with its original expectations, he said.
Regarding the personal handyphone system (PHS) business -- a no-frills wireless service that requires less infrastructure investment than regular mobile services -- Nishiguchi said his company planned to start offering base stations and handsets to three Asian markets by the end of the year.
Kyocera already supplies PHS equipment to China and Taiwan.

The ultra-phone
If you're tied to a cell phone, you've got something really special. Consider the Vertu cell phone from Nokia.
With a sticker price up to $26,550, the Vertu may cost as much as a car for normal people. Of course, this phone isn't for normal people.
A steal at under $27,000.
With a casing that can be made from either platinum or 18 carat gold, the Vertu boasts a sapphire crystal lens and high-fidelity speakers that "dramatically enrich the aural experience," according to the manufacturer's Web site.
There's no need to worry about plunking down a small fortune for a phone that's going to be obsolete in a year, either. Vertu is rigged with technology that allows the phone to be upgraded at the Vertu Service Center in the United Kingdom.
Vertu's much-touted "concierge button" connects users to a live person who can do their bidding, any time of day or night in 170 countries worldwide. Vertu has a team of global marketers who can get you into the hottest restaurants, clubs or restaurants worldwide so you'll always feel exclusive – even if you have no idea where to go.
"If I'm in Barcelona," says Vertu spokesperson Erin Hawker, "and I need a yoga instructor they can find me one." That's probably why Gywneth Paltrow, Tom Ford and Madonna all have one.
did you check out COF nice return.
