InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Did you forget the customers for your product are all minor league players? Spreadtrum, Infineon, and NXP are hardly an impressive array of design wins. In the PR, it was clear that no one was interested in buying the SlimChip. Don't you think a vertically integrated manufacturing powerhouse (e.g.Nokia), could have afforded to buy your purportedly "disruptive" engine for a small amount of millions to them, and kept it out of competitive hands? I'm glad that IDCC decided to cut costs, since it couldn"t achieve the R&D/sales scale necessary to compete against the more sophisticated houses, but your assertion that they elected to rent, and refused to sell, is simply revisionist. They tried to sell, but were unable to do so.
