InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

After the first read the only word that comes to mind is "sweet'. Sure we gave up the Euro sales but they wouldn't have been in the cards till after the trial for US based sales was finished. Appeal process would have been a time consumer for the US trial and there was no guarantee. My guess is IDCC management wants to move now.

The investment has now changed and some stability has been introduced. I have no doubt we will get paid on the Nokia and Samsung MFL's. Could there be arbitration, maybe, but Howard was clear on the issue, and that part, no doubt would have been factored before the Ericy agreement. I'm comfortable that we will get paid.

Acquisition or perhaps licensing other patents will be the next things to debate on these boards. IDCC wishes to grow and they will be using the extra money they get as a tool for that growth. This will reduce the earnings and cause some to question the actions.

Ahh, but it doesn't matter. It's all good. And longterm this should be a very good investment to have on the books.
