Do you think that any party..other than the existing Arbitration Panel, can establish a 2G and 3G rate for Nokia,and determine the 2002-2004 monies owed, including a 3G true up..and then place a fair market value on future Nokia 2G & 3G revenue streams..and then perform the same APRAISAL MODEL for Samsung, Motorola, Siemens, LGE etc for future 2G & 3G revenue streams..based on Third Party research projections?..Of course there is then, future Antenna sales,Govt. contracts,Chip revenues etc. etc..And still not be engaged in several dozen ensuing class actions? The closest Business Model would be Qualcomm ..which currently has a $65 Billion market cap...and they have yet to receive the benefits of WCDMA sales..Is not IDCC' s 1% vs. Qualcomm's 5% ...worth 20% or some $13 Billion?..IDCC has 300 plus employees and Qualcomm some 6,000.. TIA


In regard to your second question, it is easy to establish a price. You engage a Wall St investment banking firm, who has lots of high paid MBA's working for them, who in turn have limited real world knowledge, but can dream up all kinds of hypothetical reasoning and formulas to come up with and justify a "reasonable" price.
