InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

I hope it doesn't go away. Suppose IDCC is owed $300-$400 million from Nokia/MSFT. What could they have done with that money if it had been paid on a timely basis. That is considered an opportunity loss and it is worth way more than simple interest. They may have been able to buy revenue producing businesses or invest more in emerging wireless technologies.

Investors als0 get screwed in a major way as a result of patent holdup.
