InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[plumear]

Does anyone else find it weird or interesting that Cramer, about a week ago, talked about how he would sell IDCC because all they did was get involved in litigation? Within the last couple days someone posted an article from the Motley Fool about companies that developed and bought IPR for the purpose of suing other companies for profit by forcing them into licensing agreements. Isn't it a bit coincidental that this occurred just before Nokia response to IDCC's motion when they accuse IDCC of this very thing? Could it be possible that there is an attempt to influence this thing in the court of public perception?


Even more out in left field, could there be any connections between management bashing, attempts to remove IDCC leadership and high levels of shorting to keep a lid on a price run-up and create shareholder discontent prior to the ASM or, as other posters have suggested, to condition the shareholders to accept a lower price in the event of a buyout? (Sort of like the Navy using it's guns to soften up the beaches before the Marines are sent in) Could the Nokia action be part of the same effort?
