InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Judge Rader - Your contract with IDCC just substitutes NOK for ERICY.

NOK - No it doesn’t.

Judge Rader - Yes it does.

NOK - No it doesn’t.

Judge Rader - Yes it does.

NOK - OK, it does.
(Poetic license obviously taken here).

Judge Rader - Then why didn’t you intervene earlier?

NOK - NOK did not have the same interest in 1999. When IDCC got the Orders vacated, that had an effect upon the contract (IDCC/NOK license).

Judge - Why should we help you when you could have intervened earlier?

NOK - We trusted IDCC.

Judge Rader - OK, they didn’t protect you; but they had no obligation to protect you.
