InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

ruling of validity and enforceability was worth the risk of a non-infringement ruling and MIGHT even eventually prove to be the better result.

If the ALJ had ruled that there was a violation, it would have meant that the patents were valid, enforceable, AND infringed. The stock would be sitting in the 40's and the rate that IDCC was asking from Nokia would have gone up. The likelihood of Motorola and SE coming to the table as well as LG renewing would have gone up substantially.

There is no chance that IDCC is going to get a better result out of this than the above. At very best, they'll get a wash financially with more time lost.
