InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

[JeffreyHF]

The problem is that just as a win would have encouraged licensing negotiations, this loss discourages them. Combined with the inability to sell the complete portfolio, despite being shopped to NDA buyers, and the subsequent sale of patent families that were culled from the trove, IDCC has become a litigation lottery ticket. 14 years after being tagged the "Baby QCOM",IDCC is still fighting to be taken seriously, and losing. While mobile explodes with growth globally, IDCC's licensing base and future prospects continue to shrink. Merritt was talking up a win, ever since the hearing ended. Without street credibility, the market will be cruel, and many stalwart investors have died or gone broke along the way.
