Many here congratulate each other and talk about this being a watershed event. We heard this same talk after the S/E settlement and have struggled ever since. The true watershed event imo will happen when NOK signs a 3G agreement, not before. I don't mean after another 5 year litigation battle either because by then we could be on 4G-5G. Yes, we should realize some rev's from the 2-2.5G infringers now but let's face it, those rev's will be dwindling fast as 3G is where it's at now. It seems like IDCC's accounts receivables are always 5 yrs in arrears when it comes to getting paid by a few of the majors.

I remember people not being happy with the S/E settlement but justified it in their minds that a 3G agreement must be just around the corner and that would make the settlement worth it...nope it never happened.

What makes you think NOK won't fight 3G to the end like they are so accustomed to doing?

A win is a win no matter how small and I'm as happy as the next person but I've seen all this back slapping and high fiving many times before and IDCC just runs into another obstacle that prevents it from realizing its potential.

Many of you think that I'm Mr. negativity due to my cautious posts. I'd much rather come across as negative to a bunch of strangers on a chat board than to possibly let my love for a company blind me to the potential scenarios and facts. It's much easier to lose money with these "Story Stocks" than it is to make it. My very cautious approach works for me and I will continue to post my opinions whether you think they are positive or not and whether you like it or not.

The bottom line probably still remains the same. We are at the mercy of NOK. Will they decide to cooperate or will they fight tooth and nail on everything. They already pubicly said that they will fight the IPR co's to the end so I hope for IDCC's and the shareholders sake, they change their mind.
