rmarchma -- options, not warrants or RSUs, have (for good reason) been the incentive of choice for the engineers; how many shares are left just for OPTIONS -- and how many of those are currently being used up annually just for the 'options for patents' program (which I for one strongly support, no matter how many options it consumes) -- ??

rmarchma, in 2001 they granted a lot more options because IDCC was hiring a bunch of engineers at that time.

If IDCC starts hiring after getting a big cash infusion or through a new contract they might plow through another 5 million this year, right? In that case we might need a few more shares to throw around. We don't really know what management has in mind for those shares, do we? We just assume they want to line their own pockets.

Perhaps you should be voting out those board members who are part of this abuse if you feel that management is simply being too greedy.
