Loophole

Your post brings to mind the old saw: "If a guy owes you a little money, he's got a problem; if he owes you a lot of money, you've got a problem." Best that we take action NOW against infringers before they owe us a LOT of money. We've learned many lessons in 2G and we need to put them to work in 3G or suffer the same consequences. The coming year will be crucial for IDCC not only in how the NOK arbitration plays out but even more importantly how we conduct the INEVITABLE fight to collect what we are owed for 3G. This business has two challenges, which are EQUALLY important. One is inventing and the second is getting paid for what you invent. We must dispense with the canon in defending against infringers and rely on the machine gun instead. I would like to see us seriously consider an action against NOK for 3G infringement even while we are in arbitration for 2G. This might push them to settle the current arbitration with a deal for both.
