la-idcc-fan - In response to your statement (copied below):

"I think the market is now rightly waiting for confirmation that the Huawei agreement can be used to sign other agreements."

[IMO] - It will be difficult for ZTE (a Chinese company) to avoid following in Huawei's footsteps considering the Chinese government's oversight of the licensing process. Also note tat Microsoft is closely tied to the outcome of the ZTE litigation.

Looks like IDCC is in no hurry to have CAFC rule on their appeal of the
IPR decision on the 8,380,244 patent.

Dear Judge Andrews:
Pursuant to the Court's order (D.I. 540), the parties hereby submit this joint status report.
On October 13, 2015, the Court stayed this action pending completion of the inter parties review of the validity of the ’244 patent (including all appeals and subsequent proceedings before the PTAB). (D.I. 536.)
The appeal of the PTAB's ruling on the ’244 patent is currently pending before the Federal Circuit and briefing is not yet complete. The appellant (IPR Licensing, Inc.) filed its opening brief on April 29, 2016, and the appellees (ZTE Corp., ZTE (USA) Inc., and Microsoft Corp.) filed their response brief on August 26, 2016. IPR Licensing's reply brief is currently due on September 12, 2016, but IPR Licensing plans to seek a 60-day extension.
The parties will promptly inform the Court when the PTAB proceedings have been finally resolved.
