If you have read my posts, then you know that I believe that Nok will pay between 250 and 500 mil for 2g through 2006.

As for the argument of the Nok lawyer which is hearsay on hearsay at this juncture, he may have been arguing a point to taint reputation of Ericy. You have to remember that Judge Lynn tried the Harris case against Ericy. It was Ericy that stated all along that they would prevail against IDCC. IDCC had already been defeated by Mot. It should be very obvious to all by now that Nok was not so sure of that fact. They tendered 31.5 mil under a license, not the W-TDD project for which paid an additional 58 mil. The attorney was arguing that Nok should see the documents because Ericy had Nok and the rest of the TDMA/GSM manufacturers convinced that they had a strong case. Ericy had prevailed in some of its PSJ motions. Suddenly, Ericy is settling for a song for past and a percentage going forward. Even IDCC stuttered when it came to the reporting of the past figure which later is still yet fully explained. Further, Ericy agrees to let IDCC off the hook on its PSJ victories and seal the case files against the view of the licensed and unlicensed interested manufacturers. Nok believes that Ericy, its biggest competitor, gained a commercial advantage in the IDCC settlement and they want to know why and how. The lawyer was hoping to convince the judge that a lot of unusual things happened that would justify the unsealing of the documents. I believe that the judge turned and allowed the limited intervention and left the ball in the arbitration court to assess what happened and make appropriate decisions with regard to license before them.

A few notes taken by our troops may be being blown way out of proportion. Argument by counsel is not evidence in a case. A lawyer will take it to the edge absent objections by the other side. Too much is being made over this note in our reporters files at this time. If IDCC truly believes that Nok was running a scam, then they should be in federal court attemting to undue their previous agreements with Nok. I do not believe this will occur. Further, Nok will not be suing its lawyer over the arguments made at the court on Tuesday.
