zdog: The licenses have a Confidentiality clause. In the past the ones that I have seen for IDCC usually have the right to issue a limited information press release. Apparently, for whatever reason(s) that was not the case in this instance. Below is an example of a Confidentiality Clause from an old LG PLA

"Confidentiality. Unless otherwise required by law or court or arbitral order, the parties shall maintain as strictly confidential this License Agreement and any proprietary information disclosed under, or as a result of the negotiation of, this License Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDCC and Licensee shall each have the right to publish and distribute a press release announcing the execution of this License Agreement. Such press release shall contain the names of the parties, the scope and fields of the license, the license duration, and any other information necessary to satisfy SEC, NASDAQ or other requirements. Each party shall have the opportunity for advance review and comment of the other party’s press release, which comments shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that InterDigital Group or its Related Companies may (a) provide this Agreement or the contents thereof in confidence, to other licensees to the extent required by most favored licensee clauses, (b) issue a public statement regarding the fact of the execution of this License Agreement for the Licensed Standards or (c) provide any other information necessary to satisfy SEC, NASDAQ or other requirements, which other information shall be subject to advance review and comment by Licensee, which comments shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed."
