I think the ALJ would be pretty pisst if he found out we had a deal and let him schedule the dates on his calendar. They should at least stay the matter, as they did with Samsung at all the different venues.
They can keep their pipe dreams until they go up in smoke. LOL

I think you are wrong on the next day thing. My opinion is they more than likely now have a rate, or maybe not as Samsung may not let them know if they want lump payments or ongoing till the last minute. Now I would suspect that Nokia has the numbers and they also are deciding do they want lump or ongoing royalty payments. Now the language and contracts have to be written and then both countries agree which could be a little longer process because of the language barrier, I don't know.

You in your infinite wisdom tell me what the hold up would be. Do you think Nokia ia about to go to court, or about to let sanctions be implemented. Do you think for a minute Nokia can win in court, and if you do sell Monday as you are in the wrong stock. Nokia has on the record acknowledged the IDCC patents. Nokia lost the challenge in England and IDCC walked away with a court approved ESSENTIAL PATENT and Nokia granted the other. Try going to court with that.

In conclusion its always the money, and the rate is not going to get any lower than Samsung and you can go to the bank on that other than what IDCC thinks they should give if any for volume discount. Why should IDCC really have to concede them a thing, they have the patents and basically have Nokia by the short hair. Samsung only lost in arbitration Nokia got booted in a court, big difference. So if it is just the money and you know you are going to have to pay including back payments, then economically it makes no sense to fight in court and spend money that if I was IDCC would quadruple every dime spent on courts and legal expenses and add that to the rate.

If they went to court I would have my money on IDCC for sure. Let me ask you if you was Nokia and wanted to not pay would you knowing what you know still fight when all it would do is most likely get your rate to be higher or even sanctions?
I think you would ask for the Samsung rate and try to get a volume discount and if IDCC said no discount you most likely would accept the rate as you have no case.
