InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

After the ITC decision was rendered and in addition to the appeal at the CAFC, IDCC should have filed a follow-on case against Nokia using several of its patents with revised claims language resulting from Nokia's arguments in the first proceeding. We should have kept the pressure on Nokia and choked off their air supply.

IDCC is banking its credibility on a win at the CAFC. That is a pretty daring move in my mind and one that I don't think is totally warranted. If they lose at the CAFC, a subsequent proceeding will cost us another two years minimum and will utterly destroy IDCC's credibility on Wall Street. I would then expect BM to be replaced for his inability to carry out IDCC's mission.

He says we are well respected in the 4G arena but I don't see anyone anxious to license with us.
