laranger, I would love to see NOK go down that path...

If they suddenly want to argue that the written contractual wording should be discarded and replaced with their intended meaning (i.e., that a company can only be a trigger if it exceeds a certain market share at the time of licensing) it would only work to our advantage.

It might serve NOK's purpose for 2G, but it would mean that the existing 3G license with NEC would take on new significance. After all, NEC has a very substantial market share for 3G handsets right now. We could argue that NEC was a market leader in 3G when they signed their license, and as such should trigger NOK's 3G royalty obligations at the rate they are paying.

All of the drums and sticks have been collected by the tribunal. The practice is over and the songs have been played at the evidentiary concert. It is now a matter of who makes the cut. There is no sense worrying. As I have said earlier, this is as far as the higher ups have gone out on a public limb at KoP since the early 1990's. If they have not panicked and settled by now, then we should all feel good about our position in the arbitration.

It appears that Nok has been educated in the trigger game and desires to put away the lawyer's PC's to talk a little all G turkey before the tribunal educates them a little more. I sure hope so because I am getting tired. This has been a long, tedious journey that began in a bar 20 years ago. There were 5 of us then and only 2 of us are still alive. I feel like the old man in the sea and am just weary from trying to keep the sharks away from my trophy fish.
