InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Blaming the judicial system for this loss is is a deflective act of self-delusion. Look instead to the quality, not the quantity, of the patents involved, and the touts who oversold the reality. Licensing has always been a struggle for IDCC. Having no products to sell, since the SlimChip money pit was wisely abandoned, the business model has been predicated upon threatening litigation, since most manufacturers who were privy to IDCC's portfolio were not sufficiently impressed to pay the tariff. The inability to sell the company was more than a canary in the mine. And now, without being able to prove that one claim of one selected, valid patent was infringed, those who have balked at signing have been emboldened. IDCC has been at this game for decades, and lacks the credibility necessary to back up its threats. "This time I really mean it" simply won't cut it.
