Okie/Spider: "Days" to be exact. However one
must be very careful how one interprets that. It could be 30/60/90 days which some might argue that time is in months.
I was confident that it would be no more than 90 days or by the middle of June, but with all the double speak from the CC, it could be 120/180 or 365 days! I just don't know any more. Here is the exchange:

TOM CARPENTER: I've got two final questions and I'll let some other folks get on the call. In the release, you talked about there's a period of review and negotiation and dispute resolution with regards to Nokia and Samsung. Could you give us a ballpark idea of the timeframe on that. Is that Summer 2003, end of 2003, for the period of review?

HOWARD GOLDBERG: Let me lay out how it works, Tom, and I'll answer your question. There is a period that is specified in terms of a specific number of days that I'm not at liberty to divulge, but as you can imagine, what we agreed on was a commercially reasonable period for review and discussion that is narrow enough to accommodate our needs and expansive enough to accommodate the needs of the other side. It is not a tremendously long period, and then after that if in fact we do not reach a resolution, and that's an IF at this point in time, we believe that the terms are pretty clear and we will have to see what happens in that discussion,
