InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

I don't see the problem here. So IDCC gets paid for the patents that cannot be indemnified. Then whats to prevent the licensee to stop paying the original licensor of the patent its royalty and pay a lower royalty rate to IDCC for the same patent. IDCC has a new revenue stream from the patents which currently they have not been collecting on.
This way the vendor using the patent currently ,stops payment of royalty to qualcomm and starts paying at a cheaper rate to IDCC.
If then qualcomm opts to give the patent up for free then IDCC is not in any worse shape then they were before.
This indemnification augument seems like a bit of nonsense,the only loser will be qualcomm.
