To me the layman this looks like a circle jerk request.

They are asking for arbitration based on a previous agreement!!

BS that agreement is over and dead.

Didn't NOK agree to terminate any existing agreement in consideration of royalty fee forgiveness for a period certain? Can NOK now rely on that very agreement to request arbitration?

Even if NOK can, NOK could have done this before being grouped with Samsung ITC complaint.

There are no more license agreements between the companies, correct? What arbitration clause could they be talking about?

Kills me to see Nokia use the term "binding arbitration" in their argument! They make a mockery of the arbitration process and then claim the right to rely on it again. Also, they make reference to something being due today which I guess they weren't able to deliver on. What was that? Is it unusual to request a delay on the day something us due? Also, no mention of Sammy. Are they trying to divorce themselves of the mess and leave Sam to go it alone?

More stall, stall, stall attempts.

Shocking!!! Delay, delay, delay, ad infinitum. Their strategy has been consistent and effective. The question is WHO is going to do something about it and WHEN?

Could this allegation be for the TDD developmental work years ago that was done by IDCC and funded by NOK? I'm sure NOK is yet again trying to confuse and delay the proceedings.

IDCC is in the fight for its existence. It is clear Nok is grasping at straws, but I fear the Nok PLA concerning TDD patents is still in effect with the arbitration clause attached. The laymans view of the patents in question have nothing to do w/TDD as for as I can see, but might cause a serious pause to let justice once again grind to a slow stop. Whatever the case is may Justice rule swiftly and if in favor of IDCC the judge penalize Nok for not meeting deadlines and continuing to stall. Additionally, is Nok slowly showing their hand that they not only believe the patents are valid but that they also may be willfulling infringing patents that they now claim to have rights to practice.
