Blueskywaves, this makes no sense:

"One of the intangible benefits of the 3/14 ERICY settlement is that it gave IDCC a fresh start at shedding its reputation as a patent house especially now that it has the financials to match. It's no surprise that IDCC is trying to exploit the situation by sweetening its options program to recruit more technical and management talent at a time when most tech companies have option programs that are perenially underwater like so much swampland."

What? How did the 3/14 Ericy settlement help IDCC to shed their image as a patent house? If anything, it strengthened it because it was an agreeement to pay for IDCC's patents!

On your second point, if IDCC is going to fly, they will be able to do it without recruiting any new talent. It is do or die time. You suggest these new options could help them recruit new talent. That would be terribly expensive new talent if IDCC really does fly. IMO, it's in the shareholders best interest to reject that ballot measure even though it will pass anyway, driven by those who want to sell and buy in for less.
