Ranger: The 1999 contract specifically called for resolution of disputes via arbitration and that the arbitration had to be conducted in the United States.

Laranger-odd that arbitration is not a venue for deciding patent validity; the IDC-NOK 1999 agreement has language allowing Nokia to challenge patent claims; while the same agreement specifies arbitration to settle all disputes.
The foregoing "facts" seem in contradiction.
Are they facts?
How do others view this? TIA
