InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[Fog1937]

Would NOK like to buy IDCC? I would say YES! YES! YES!
Could they?
By now it should be clear to the whole world how NOK behaves in licensing. How many in this industry would like to see NOK holding all of IDCC's intelectual properties? My guess, no one would; matter of fact that would be a nightmare scenario. Neither would anyone want to see QCOM buying IDCC.
Every producer of wireless phones would be in the market buying as much IDCC they could buy, just to keep it out of the Q's or NOK's hands. Also IDCC holds 15 million+ shares in its treasury , it could sell to friendly holders (how about 5% to each of Microsoft, Apple, Google - or add your favorites). Such proceeds could be dividended out to holders of record two weeks later. I bet Shorts would fill their shorts with something other than enthusiasm.
No! IDCC's management is much smarter than to let this company be stolen from them, just when untold riches are within sight.
We all should just relax. We know what's knowable to the general public and it now is in the hands of the court.
In my opinion, if the courts go against IDCC here, then you can kiss goodby the United States primary position in INtelectual Properties. This case is this important and I would think this premise would be foremost on the mind of the ALJ.

Now for me, back to lurking.
