I do not beleive the arbitration will be moved one way or another. IDCC will not fight today's decision and will present its case regardless of court documents. Nokia has the documents and the ruling it wanted to precede with arbitration. No delays are needed and I can't see the arbitration panel deciding to move things up.

"Of course, we continue to focus appropriate internal and external resources toward the resolution of arbitrations with Nokia and Samsung and litigation with Lucent. Under a draft schedule proposed by the arbitration panel in the Nokia matter, an evidentiary hearing would be conducted in January 2005, with a decision expected sometime thereafter. The arbitration with Samsung remains at an early stage, with panel selection still underway. The recently filed patent infringement suit against Lucent is also at an early stage. We are confident in our positions in these matters," concluded Mr. Goldberg."
