[The Count]

Bulldzr, you can pay yourself a dividend

Simply sell 4% of your shares, which will net you about $1.00 for all the shares you owned prior to selling. Your holdings would be worth less by the amount of the dividend recieved, just as IDCC's share price would fall by a buck when it went ex-dividend if they paid a dividend directly.

The difference is that instead of being taxed on the full amount of the dividend if IDCC paid it out, you would be taxed on the net gain on the shares sold. So you can decide how much of a dividend you want and how often you want it. Hopefully the price rises and you can sell less shares to get the same dividend.
