Wrong person. You are confusing Stout with David Cohen. It is the latter who was head of licensing/litigation at NOK, not the former. Stout is the former patent examiner who co-founded NTP and scored a major settlement vs. Blackberry back in 2006.

I disagree completely with your first prediction. NOK will not buy or merge with Vringo.

As for #2, I suppose it is possible VRNG and NOK extend their relationship. But it is certainly not probable.

Nokia does not need VRNG for anything. NOK has been a worldwide leader in mobile patent licensing over the last 2-3 decades. Only Qualcomm has been more successful. As great as Mister Cohen is, Nokia has many more talented licensing and litigation specialists working for them.

I believe you are somewhat overestimating VRNG's ability to license someone else's patents and significantly underestimating the IP powerhouse that is Nokia.

I agree but what VRNG has that NOK doesn't in there old lawyer, Stout, how much is he worth. So either one of two things will happen:
1) NOK and VRNG merge/get bought out.
2) NOK opens the vault to VRNG and says 50:50 or 35:65 like the first 500 patents.
