IMO:You and others may want to do some research on the Guinness record for the leading Intellectual Property AWARD either from Litigation and or Mandatory Arbitration for INFRINGEMENT..I think the current record holder is Kodak..Question would you want to be the CEO of the next record holder or settle a Contract dispute with a win/win announcement?

GAB, sure hope we are right about everything else but the timing of what is going to happen with Nokia! Seems like you are hoping for a settlement soon, and I'm cautioning that InterDigital may require Nokia to do a lot more than just get squared up on 2G payments before agreeing to a settlement.

It would be gang busters to see Nokia roll over on 2G AND 3G issues in the next few weeks, but so far they have chosen to do things the hard way. One of the ways that has affected my actions here has been to keep my bets on the long term outcome being what we are counting on(buy and hold the shares), and to stay off trying to play the timing with call options.

L2V.

After seeing all the recent legal flack from Nokia, one wonders why they ever signed with IDCC in 1999.

Nokia knew IDCC was nearly bankrupt, and locked in a bitter battle with Ericy, which was slowly draining all of its remaining resources.

So why did they suddenly decide to change the course of IDCC's history with a near-$100 million life preserver, rather than just letting it die on the vine?

Some think that Nokia never thought they'd make it anyhow. But the complex and far ranging agreement was clearly not drafted in haste by a two-bit law firm.

With hundreds of millions now at stake, not to mention Nokia's high-fallutin' reputation, Jorma must be wondering the same thing.
