InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Question...If the following statements made repeatedly by IDCC and F & J Attorneys are true regarding the 1999 Nokia Contract with IDCC (which they have possession of)..what significance will the Arbitration Panel attribute to the Invalidation of some claims in an IDCC Patent? Will they grant Nokia a lower rate for 2G as a result of Sony/Ericsson ,foolishly signing a 2G license with IDCC that was higher than a Nokia mediation team would have signed under the same set of conditions? TIA

"The principal claims and defenses at issue in Ericsson vs. Interdigital related to the validity and Infringement of InterDigital's patents..However the SCOPE, VALIDITY, and Infringement of InterDigital's patent are NOT at issue in the Nokia Arbitration."



"terminal units and Infrastructure products covered by the Nokia License are defined ,NOT IN REFERENCE to the CLAIMS of any IDCC patent, but rather as products designed to be compliant with certain Industry Standards..Infringement of a Patent is not at issue."

Did E & I err in conditioning their settlement on the filing of a joint motion of vacatur? After Judge Lynn's June 3 reversal of her vacatur, there are some who think that the settlement should have been conditioned on the granting of same.
