Jeffrey, it is not always the characteristics and negotiations that you pointed out that values a companies patents. Sometimes it is the size of the Gorilla demanding his share of the Banana.

You didn't answer my question which was basically according to Nokia how many essential patents does it take to assert and collect a 2 1/2% roytalty rate.

You know what I could care less what Samsung, or anyone else pays. IDCC is in a stronger position money wise to demand what essential patents are worth. Nokia is negotiating from weakness as no other company is on record of challenging the IDCC patents and having at least 1 declared by a court as essential. I don't think any other company is on record for stating that just 1 essential patent is worth a 2 1/2% royalty rate.

If IDCC ever and I mean ever wants to be recognized as a leader in the industry and a company that can and will defends its patents, it better happen against Nokia, or IDCC will forever get taken advantage of and have problems gettin renewals and new license for everg G their is.

Good points. I don't see why Nokia should pay egregiously more than the others. Moreover, anyone who follows this stock should automatically know that the ITC does not impose damages -- it's the Federal Courts that do so.

Do you think that companies will sign agreements past 2012 to get the stock price up for nice returns for investors who put money into the company at anything below $30?

Even if Nokia signs like Samsung (before the ALJ's hearing)does IDCC get above $30?
