IF IDCC Would Get Paid for their IP Management Compensation wouldn't look so excessive.
While they're not getting paid, it looks as insane as Dick Grasso and Jack Welch's packages, though at least NYSE prospered under Grasso and GE did under Welch.
What I just don't get is why IDCC gets bullied, litigated to death, ends up taking pennies on the dollar time after time, and still ends up in more seemingly endless litigation?
The ERICY thing was SUPPOSED to end the majority of the litigation by establishing a rate, by showing that IDCC could prevail, by showing its IP was the real thing and totally valid, and vindicating all the "engine and transmission" and "essential IP" talk from management.
Instead it led to more litigtion, this NOK arb and ALL the related stuff, and now others are sitting on the sidelines waiting.
IDCC took pennies on the dollar from ERICY and apparently everyone took the message that IDCC can be forced to do so rather than others licensing up for the full amount owed IDCC just keeps getting screwed so far as I can tell.
Either management exagerrates (aka LIES) OR they're doing a lousy job in litigation and business.
Even those who license and pay don't seem to pay full price.
And yet QCOM keeps getting paid and so do others.
What gives?
So to me management and BOD compensation is excessive relative to results not to what might be expected. If IDCC lived up to the promises of management and BOD, their compensation would be fine. It hasn't and their compensation is excessive, almost tyco like.
