InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[sjratty]

PACER: Delaware

There was an interesting special order entered yesterday. Apparently, the parties were fighting over whether Nokia had to first identify which patents are not essential and state why IDCC acted in bad faith in saying that it is, or whether IDCC has to first identify which patents are essential and provide prove of that. IDCC won this issue, and Nokia must, within 30 days, identify all patents that it contends are not essential and state why IDCC acted in bad faith that it is. IDCC also defeated Nokias attempts to get other discovery, such as settlement negotiation docs.
