Summary: Tic, Tic, Tic...Nok signed a contract that contained Ericy as a rate trigger...Ericy settled on a rate....patent validity not at issue...just the rate and the trigger which is provided by the agreeement with Ericy...the kitchen sink was thrown and landed....IDCC is still standing with the 1999 contract in hand and the Ericy agreement stating the rate. Tic, tic, tic goes the clock on NOK.

JAI: Also NEC is at present the king in 3G. DO you also think that Nokia will skate IDCC and sing for 3G as king NEC thought they needed to do?
Nokia will be paying much more then "ZEROS", for both past and for future! Bet on it!

"If you think the arbitrators are blind then you are too and should bail!"

I should sell? Why?

Howard set the bar by openly declaring what money was owed. Then IDCC publishes this money owed in the 2002 annual report.

March, Nokia date set in Jan. Stock crashes.

May, IDCC leaves out any reference to specific Nokia monies. These references are removed from the annual report as well as the investor presentations.

I beleive Nokia now has ammo to reduce the IDCC settlement. Not good news but I never expected to collect $300 million from Nokia for 2002, 2003 and 2004 to begin with. This also explains why the stock has not bounced back to the 20's level with all the recent good news.

I still do not beleive IDCC will lose. I just think that we will not see Howards numbers and I also feel IDCC doesn't think they will get them either. That is why they so mysteriously disappeared in May,
