InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[jai]

I just consulted with an expert on this topic and what you have stated is basically what he said. With the ruling from the Ericsson trial, Nokia now can have the arbitrators reduce the payments based on non-infringement of IDCC's IPR. This is a $500 million dollar decision and Nokia would not have gone to these lengths if they did not feel they could win concessions in arbitration.

The fact still remains that this will not affect IDCC in the long run on their bread and butter IPR, 3G. Fighting for old 2G patents with stripped out claims will not bring this stock to where it needs to be. This chapter has been frustrating and it is time to move on. The $500 million dollars will be chopped and hopefully a nice 3G license will come out of it.

So after 4 years of wondering when phase II will start, then when the rate will be set, then when the contract will be signed, then when the arbitration will be finished, it is time for this company to move past Nokia 2G and start collecting 100% of 3G royalties from everyone.
