Thanks, I knew you would have it.

Loop recalls seeing it in an SEC filing, (Could be the 20F).

But I must admit, your reference:

"After failed attempts at negotiating a settlement, Nokia filed an arbitration demand"

is language that is very close to the mark.

And it smacks of Jorma's beady-eyed, "We're the Big Dog, and you better believe it, or else!" attitude.

If I can paraphrase, "We made attempts (Stop here, and notice the plural). . . . to settle with these QCOM wannabees, and they wouldn't fall for our two-bit offer.

So, in accordance with our long-standing policy, we're making their lives miserable.

Damn the consequences! Lawyers! Full speed ahead!"

As usual, Sir Dog, thanks so much for your trouble.

According to Nokia they made several attempts to settle the matter and then had to apply the arbitration clause. Is it not clear that senior management with this knowledge made insider sales. surely as shareholders we should at the very least be informed as to what Nokia was prepared to offer to settle the matter. If the amount was a financial insult, then management can be assured of shareholder support. If the the settlement figure was material, then it is important that we should have the same information available to us as management continues to have whilst still selling shares.

In addition surely if the amount suggested by Nokia was material, then the announcement of such information would be a great help in encouraging other 2 and 2.5g infringer's to the table and perhaps a few more 3g licenses would also fall into place.
