I am guessing that IDCC is waiting to announce additional big licensing deals until after the first of the year, since they are well aware of the uneven nature of licensing royalties and must certainly want to spread them out year to year to minimize what they call the "lumpiness" of it. Therefore, expect a big announcement after new year.
If they wait until next year what do you or anyone else think that management has this year that would earn them a large bonus?
I would think that a Nokia deal this year would earn them a lot and next year would be much easier in the licensing area if Nokia was licensed this year.
