VG_future: Idcc can not setttle without a 3G agreement because it would look like the Ericy settlement all over again and there would not be the same initial positive reaction as was the case with the Ericy settlement. Also Idcc is looking for affirmation that Ericy is a trigger for 2G and, by extension, for 3G, which a positive panel decision would give it. Nok has shown no indication that it is willing to pay for 3G despite their contract with Idcc. Unless Nok feels they will have to pay anyway for 3G because of later developments following the panel decision, they will not settle. In this case you have an immovable object(Idcc) up against a stone wall(Nok) IMO
