From what I see the D & O expense increases is not IDCC specific. A number of other companies have had insurance expense increases.

"The company said its first-quarter outlook reflects "the lower first-quarter revenues and higher first-quarter expenses relating to employment taxes, sales conferences, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and year-end audit and reporting expenses."

Sarbanes-Oxley is putting executives in the hot seat. They are now criminally liable if they produce fraudulent numbers. Insurance costs have increased because of this.
