"My point in my previous post is that it would be a pretty short-sighted move to be an a-hole with IDCC when you may have to eat crow once the NOK arbitration is done."
My original expectation for the ERICY settlement was half of what was being bantered around....the fact is .....we didn't come close. While I am not technically comparing the NOK arbitration to the ERICY settlement.... I have to consider the fact that almost everyone [if not everyone] was completely blind sighted by the outcome. Many like myself recognized it was better to get this albatross off our backs and 'move on'.... collect the money from NOKIA and start wrapping up the new licensees. That was over a year ago....we will now have to wait again... Again MY expectations are for a favorable outcome ... my legs are a little wobbly this time. I still have a lingering emotional allergy when thinking of IDCC'S legal matters. I avoid thinking about it as it serves no purpose ... but I refuse to consider it as nothing more than a shear formality with a a clear ending. The arbiters have asked for an extension of time to make a determination. I assume this delay is to allow them the opportunity to carefully review a wide range of complex issues that maybe beyond the scope of our understanding. From my perspective we have the winning position....otherwise I obviously wouldn't be here....but I am not on the panel...and I am not privy to all the legal arguments and nuances that will be put forward. If it were a 'slam dunk' we wouldn't be trading at 15.95 . Ask the legal eagles[atorneys if it's a 'slam dunk'
here's to hoping my perspective.... and I assume all longs..... is correct.....ALLEY
