InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Loop,

I understand what you are saying but for some odd reason, I don't think IDCC will win their case based on the past record in the SDNY. Even if IDCC wins the appeal, it will only go back to Batts. Do you have any confidence in anything she would do? I sure don't. She didn't get her appointment to the bench because of her intelligence. She is a political appointee (hack) and that is a damn shame.

Nokia will end up in arbitration so lets cut our losses there, sever the tie to Samsung and save ourselves sixty to ninety days in the process with Samsung. I also don't believe IDCC will see any expedited process in this proceeding. The legal system doesn't expedite anything unless there is a direct benefit to the system.

Let me ask you this. Do you agree that there will be no meaningful negotiations with Nokia or Samsung until one of them is on the courthouse steps again? I think we have a better chance to come to terms with Nokia once we win with Samsung.

I will make a bet with you too. Nokia's next argument will be to stay the Samsung ITC case until it's arbitration case is over otherwise they will be suffer irreparable harm from the possibility of Judge Luchern deciding their fate prematurely. Our legal system has holes the size of the Grand Canyon for crooks to take advantage of.
