InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[h48]

Data,

Like many here, I'm curious how you reconcile your statement regarding the CAFC decision going in IDCC favor:


"pretty much a board myth in this area of FRAND"

with:

Bill Merritt's statement:


If we move forward and then appeal in an eight or 10-month timeframe turns around the ITC decision. I think what happens in that situation is the cost of a settlement to Nokia is going up significantly because the portfolio is being proven up. Then I think if you're on their side you're going, is it worthwhile taking it all the way to those points where InterDigital can actually command perhaps a much higher royalty at that point in time.

Then Merritt repeats himself later:


Then Nokia at the end of the day, you don't get to be market leader without being a rational organization, and I think they can understand these risks and manage their way through them, and I think part of that management in my mind would be for them to do things somewhat sooner rather than later because I think later it becomes more expensive.
