InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Ghors


In the past our argument always was, that the NOk's of the world had to license with us because it was deemed that we held essential patents and that we offered frandly rates and as such we always felt like we got screwed by the ITC for not ruling of infringement accordingly

I think in the back of our minds we might have questioned since we could not seem to get relief from the ITC that maybe we did not have the essential patents that idcc said we had all along.

So here is the question, with Judge Essex bringing to light a question over essential patents this could be a game changer both ways. Will he be the one to decide if they are essential? if so then he has idcc future in his hands, right? since saying yes or no to it being essential can be a whole lot more impactful than the debate over whether we have offered fair licensing rates which as I can tell is quite subjective.
