Thanks, L2V. I understand that right now arbitration process will be unstoppable unless there is settlement. However, I have to agree with Corp_Buyer's point that the success of appealing of PSJ rulings is very important. I cited one as following:
If Nok is successful on this appeal of keeping the PSJs in effect and Nok further prevails in the UK, then it seems NOK may be on a track to completely undermine any remaining value of our 2G protfolio, which of course has serious detrimental implications to IDCC e.g. for the mysterious Indemnifier (who may owe us a lot of money for 2G), existing licensees, and yet to be signed prospective licensees for 2G.
even NOkia paid InterDigital $31 million in past, Nokia never admit liability of infringment (big difference in admitting infringement and paying money).
If Nokia prevails in PSJ and UK, claiming all the IDCC 2G patents are invality or noninfringing, not only will it hurt our 2G licencing in the future, it will also hurt our 3G licencing effort due to the credibility of our company's self-claim. Then I expect more licenses have to be ressolved in court actions.
