InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

"After this failed negotiation, the waters were muddied by Nokia with their petulant rantings and allegations of insider trading by IDCC management. Sounds like the desperation efforts of a company trapped by an ironclad contract." IMO this charge by Nokia was the first shot in an effort to portray Idcc management as unethical and to nullify Ericy as a trigger on the basis that the setttlement with Idcc was part of a fraudulent effort to stick it to Nok by putting a low royalty rate on the infrastructure and a high rate on the handsets. In a odd way, the decision of the judge to reverse vacatur(and eventually, I'm sure, to make the rulings available to the arbitrators) will show the rational for Idcc having to give Ericy a lower rate for infrastructure, which was hurt by the rulings than for the handsets, which came out better under the rulings.
