D-Rox,

I definitely think negotiations are still ongoing and expect a settlement by the commission date of Dec 14th. The big hurdle will be to see if the comission reviews the ruling, if they do than I expect talks to heat up before the decision. While NOK did win this round I feel they also know that recently the commission has overturned cases at a little less than 50% which is a pretty big gamble to take knowing IDCC only needs 1 claim out of 16 to get the ban. On the other hand IDCC knows it has less than 50% chance to overturn the decision and if in fact it goes to the comission and they don't overturn it, IDCC will be pretty much stuck with the decision. I think there is plenty of incentive on both sides to settle this and hope they do. Much rather have a smaller settlement than another 3-4 year legal battle which may or may not put IDCC in better position to get a settlement.
