GENEVA, Feb 3 (Reuters) - A burst of international patent
applications from China, Korea and Japan boosted global filings
to a record high last year, the World Intellectual Property
Organisation (WIPO) said on Friday.
Chinese firms sought 44 percent more international patents
in 2005 than the year before, in what WIPO Deputy Director
General Francis Gurry described as a concerted push to protect
the country's booming high-technology products abroad.
"As Chinese enterprises look to export markets ... they
become more concerned about international patent protection,"
Gurry told reporters at a press briefing.
Though Beijing has come under immense U.S. pressure to
tighten its intellectual property and anti-piracy rules at home,
Gurry said the country's large investments in research and
development have engendered more corporate interest in patents.
Filings from companies including telecoms equipment makers
Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. <HWT.UL> and ZTE Corp. <0763.HK>
made China the 10th largest international patent seeker in 2005
-- ahead of Australia, Italy and Canada.
The United States, Japan and Germany logged the most
international applications last year. Netherlands-based consumer
electronics group Philips PHG.AS was the largest individual
filer with nearly 2,500 applications, WIPO said.
Worldwide, applications rose 9 percent to a record of more
than 134,000 in 2005, with Asia posting the biggest gains.
In the Chinese surge, Japanese firms applied for 24 percent
more international patents in 2005 and Korean companies sought
34 percent more. The three Asian countries accounted for nearly
a quarter of all filings last year, Gurry said.
International patents, applied for through the WIPO's Patent
Cooperation Treaty, are a means for companies to seek protection
for an invention in several countries at once.
The WIPO mechanism streamlines some procedures and can
postpone national patent filing requirements, giving companies
more time to research potential commercial interest in their
products.

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--Jan. 23, 2006--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31281) has announced the
addition of UMTS and HSDPA Mobile Computing to their offering.
Could HSDPA network technology and notebook PCs be the perfect
match for the mobile industry? Notebook shipments are soaring
worldwide and have already overtaken desktops on most European
markets. Between 2005 and 2009 the population of notebook PCs in
Europe is expected to grow by 140 percent to reach 118 million
devices. At the same time all major population centres will be covered
by high speed HSDPA data services. WLAN was embraced by the PC
industry in just a few years. Can this success story be repeated by
HSDPA and what does that mean for the mobile industry?
Highlights:
-- Overview of the European market for notebooks PCs and handheld
computers.
-- Comparison of 3G with competing and complementary wireless
broadband technologies such as WLAN, UMTS-TDD, OFDM-Flash and
WiMAX.
-- Introduction to UMTS and HSDPA data solutions covering network
and device technology.
-- Benchmarking of 3G PC card offerings from 52 mobile operators
in Western and Central Europe.
-- Analysis and forecasts for UMTS and HSDPA devices and services
in Europe until 2009.
-- Case studies of operator strategies for 3G data services and
HSDPA from around the world.
Key questions answered by the report:
-- What is the potential market size for mobile computing in each
European country?
-- How many notebook PC users are going to use 3G networks to
connect to the Internet in 2009?
-- What are the advantages with HSDPA in comparison to UMTS and
other technologies?
-- When will tier 1 PC manufacturers introduce notebook PC models
with embedded HSDPA?
-- How can 3G mobile broadband services be successfully
positioned in the market?
European mobile operators aim at connecting 50 million notebook
PCs to the Internet with high speed 3G
Wireless broadband services will be in focus for the mobile
industry during 2006, according to a new report from the telecom
analyst firm. 3G networks upgraded with HSDPA technology are going to
enable peak data speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps at the end of the year for
the same price as a DSL service with comparable performance. But
whereas DSL and cable connections are only available at fixed
locations, mobile broadband solutions enable users to access the
Internet anywhere. Soaring notebook PC shipments reflect strong demand
for mobility on the computer market and generate rapid growth in the
device population. According to the study, HSDPA is the best suited
wireless broadband technology for most regular users. 3, O2, Orange,
T-Mobile and Vodafone among others are expected to launch HSDPA on
several European markets starting from Q1-2006. T-Mobile began
shipping HSDPA ready PC data cards already in late 2005.
"We estimate that the number of notebook PCs in Europe will be in
the vicinity of 120 million devices in 2009. One of the key issues for
the telecom industry is how those should be connected to the
Internet", says Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst. "There is much talk
about various emerging technologies, but HSDPA is actually here right
now and combines high performance with good coverage. No other
technology can be expected to achieve the same footprint in the near
future".
According to the report there are currently more than 1 million 3G
data card users worldwide. Virtually all 3G network operators in
Europe offer mobile broadband services. Portugal, Switzerland and the
Czech Republic have the lowest tariffs with several operators offering
unlimited 3G data traffic for less than EUR 30 per month. 3 Sweden
offers a discount tariff including 1 GB data traffic for only EUR 17
per month.

WINDOW FOR APPEAL?
What is the window for an appeal to be filed? BY WHAT DATE? Does Nokia need to be granted an appeal on what grounds?
Sorry for the duplication
Go By 8K
The 8K is the official document filed by the company. In reading the DJ News piece simply opens the issue for intpretation and mistakes in it. News services get their news from the filings....
Hurry up and wait!
I agree...but we have not tasted justice since ERICY. And that was a settlement. I have been long this stock since 1991...if your looking for justice, get in line. Once again I agree with you...but dont expect anything more than another window with air flowing through
Big Animal pictures.
Hey, There is no reason for sarcism. We have been hearing conflicting opinions as to what is really going to be decided. As I understand it Judge P. is only there to determine the issue whether or not to vacate the decision.
If he enforeces the decision and gives it his stamp of approval then we are at where???? My point is IDCC then puts an injunction on the assets...and Nokia appeals it to a higher court and drags this out 6 more months. (is it possible)
I am only saying that regardless of the outcome we will still be waiting during another period of negotiation after they have defaulted. Does the judge give a deadline as to when payment must be made? You said that "there are stiff consequences for malevolent actions."
What are those consequences? Are you saying that the judge will add to the penalties? The issues at hand were very narrow and as such there would be no reason for Judge P. to go back to the lawyers and ask them to narrow it down. Judge P. job is not even to consider the arbitration that NOKIA asked for, he is only determining enforceability?
In your opinion what is stiffest consequence that the judge can impose other than a hefty shaking of an erect finger?
Thanks
SET THINGS RIGHT????
What do you mean by that? Am I wrong in thinking that this Judge is simply deciding as to the enforcement of the arbitration award? How do you expect that he is empowered to set things right. How will this prevent an appeal. Any advice would be appreciated...I am not an attorney...
Another weekend wondering!

Firm believes the co is well positioned to benefit from the growth of the wireless industry as it transitions from legacy to next-generation network platforms. They estimate that with the successful resolution of the Nokia and Samsung catalysts, 2006 revenue has the potential to finish roughly 58% above their published assumption, while EPS could finish in excess of 300% of their published estimate.
DROP DEAD DATE?
Does anyone have the date as to when Nokia is obligated to make the first payment? The importance of the date will indicate the timeframe as to when IDCC will enforce the NY action. My understanding was 30 days from the July 1st decision.

Prudential increases their 2005 global handset estimate to 782 mln units from 711 mln units. Firm estimates that handset units will increase by 13% in 2005 and grow at a 5-yr CAGR of 9.1%, and believes that unit growth will be driven by a combination of continued solid subscriber growth and an increase in replacement handsets as a percentage of total units from 72% in 2004 to 87% in 2009. Firm says the timing and speed of WCDMA adoption could be a swing factor in their forecast. Firm believes they remain below Street ests for 2006 WCDMA shipments, and would not be surprised to see Street consensus numbers come down in the coming weeks.

Conference?
Does anyone know what conference/ meeting IDCC was supposed to be at this week?
(Adds analyst comments, details)
By Ott Ummelas
HELSINKI, June 2 (Reuters) - The world's top mobile phone
maker Nokia NOK1V.HE launched two new low-end handsets on
Thursday, the 1110 and 1600 models, aimed at first-time users in
growth markets like Africa.
The models feature a speaking clock and large fonts. The
1110 has an inverted black and white display, suited for sunny
conditions, while the 1600 has a colour screen, Nokia said in a
statement from a press conference in Nairobi, Kenya.
Nokia indicated a price of 65-85 euros for the models which
are expected to hit shop shelves during the third quarter, but
analysts said these prices would likely decline once the phones
are shipped in large volumes.
"These are indicative prices and what they actually sell at
is another thing," said Hakan Wranne, a Stockholm-based analyst
with broker Fischer Partners.
But market watchers said the Finnish firm would not need to
cut its prices deeply to respond to its main rival, Motorola's

Draw a conclusion:
So if the # is 1% OR 10%...IT DOES NOT MATTER. My point is can anyone on this board draw a potential movement with the stock based upon the historic movements on similiar situations.
In addition, will IDCC have recurring revenues on a positive decision and positive outcomes with others whereas a comparison to what LEXR,RIMM,RMBS moves were based upon #1 a settlement, #2 recurring revenues.
The point of insider ownership is irrelevant...I am purely looking at movement on a stock based upon what is not long term shares. We can view insiders as being semi-locked up and institutional shares taking a longer term view in IDCC,LEXR,RIMM, and RMBS?
Move VS outstanding shares
Trying to draw movement based upon a settlement is difficult to do. Lexr moved Aprox. 120% on a settlement based on 79 million shares outstanding with 6% held by insiders and 34% held by institutions, short pos 7.8 million shares
Rimm moved 32% on the settlement with 189 million outstanding, 26% held by insiders and 63% held by institions
IDCC has 54 million outstanding with 10% held by insiders and 32% held by institions, 2.5 million outstanding.
look at the settled amounts and movements. I do not know if you can draw any correlations but there certainly is similiar potential for movement.
The fewer shares outstanding and more held by insiders and institutions gives way for the movement on any type of news...coupled with the short consideration.
A MISTAKE
The last person that you want to ask about IDCC is Kramer. IMO he will tear it down. Its not worth the risk.

Executive Jorma Ollila took a 6-percent pay cut in 2004, earning
reduced bonuses after the world's top mobile handset maker lost
handset market share to rivals due to a patchy phone portfolio.
Ollila pocketed 3.56 million euros ($4.72 million) in salary
and bonuses in 2004, down from 3.8 million in 2003, according to
Nokia's 6-K form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on Monday.
While his base salary rose slightly to 1.48 million euros
last year, Ollila's bonuses fell to 1.9 million euros versus
2.25 million in 2003.
The figures exclude any gains from stock options as well as
grants of performance share units and restricted shares.
Nokia struggled for most of 2004, stunning investors in
April by saying rivals were taking market share due to a lack of
camera and flip-phones and then spending the rest of the year
cutting prices to stem and partially reverse the loss.
The company also lost two of its core group of managers,
with former mobile phones head Matti Alahuhta moving to lift
maker Kone KONBS.HE and Networks head Sari Baldauf leaving for
personal reasons.
Nokia said in the filing that while Baldauf officially left
on January 31, the firm will retain her as a consultant from
February to end-June.
"The compensation related to the consultancy will be based
on Ms. Baldauf's base salary for 2004 with a potential addition
of a normal management incentive for the first half of 2005,"
Nokia said.
Ollila, 54, who took over Nokia in 1992 and steered the firm
to the top of the mobile phone world, remained by far the
highest paid executive in 2004, earning more than the next three
top earners -- Nokia President Pekka Ala-Pietila, Alahuhta and
Baldauf -- combined.

Question: What would be Nokia's chances in challenging IDCC 3G patents if ERICY was to sign a 3G agreement in the near term? Does anyone feel that this "trigger" would create the problem that they have now as per the 1999 agreement?
Corp_buyer stated:
Since then, we have Nok successfully reinstating the adverse 2G court rulings from the E case, Nok seeking to defeat our key remaining key 2G patents in the UK (which I surmise will not be the end of the 2G conflict with Nok), and now Nok is publicly attacking and litigating our key 3G patents (at least the ones Nok is worried about
Does anyone here feel that there was a successful reinstatement of the 2G court rulings? I do not remember that being the case.
Thanks
What would your thoughts be if Interdigitals response was delayed until March 15 as it pertains to the Delaware court?
What if?
