We or rather IDCC has 2 choices, use the take crumbs and go to courts for the bigger ones for years, or to hell with the crumbs and lets see what a court will award us or get Nokia to agree to a damn good royalty rate. If they don't take this action if you are alive and still own the stock 5 years from now you and the other owners will be crying why want they pay us or why so little of a rate.
If IDCC had won the Motorola trial, do you actually think IDCC would be regulated to the rates they had to license the technology for? Do you not think that a aboration of justice should go on forever, or that IDCC at sometime should try via the same system that took away from them to recover the status and the right to be paid fairly through that same court system?
Lets face reality IDCC was a pioneer in wireless digital technology, but has never been rewarded or respected but the companies who have enjoyed the use of the IDCC patents have been handsomely rewarded. IDCC had great patents and ideas and lousy implementation from management on how to get paid for these patents. Managements inability to run the company and get competent representation cost people like Loophole and others fortunes. IDCC can muddle along and take the crumbs or fight for recognition and real decent payments, its are you willing to gamble. I personally would shoot the dice, but thats me, and IDCC apparently may not want to shoot the dice. I guess they must be shaking the dice as they haven't signed a license after stating they had made substantial progress with Nokia, and to me that means IDCC is more likely to go the distance or get paid a decent rate than sign to just have a new license. I might clarify that provided they might get a big bonus if they signed before a date that was about to expire before they would get a huge bonus, which might sway their decision, just a opinion not a fact.
