dmiller..IDCC is the proverbial pimple on their azz. I doubt IDCC will ever be a part of any NOK media event eom.

Dmiller Sure we can agree to disagree

But I disagree that NOK has the luxury of not dealing with an important issue just because they have other issues to deal with.

IF you think of ELOP as a Dr brought in to cure a sick patient, and he diagnoses the patient with cancer AND life threatening pneumonia, the doctor wouldn't say 'we'll treat the pneumonia and worry about the cancer later' because early and prompt treatment of both is needed to prevent further progression and sequelae.

In this case, the situation for NOK with IDCC could get MUCH worse really quickly if and when the CAFC RULES IN OUR FAVOR!

But we'll know better sometime from now until Friday at whatever time their call is scheduled.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I wouldn't hold your breath on your scenario playing out. IDCC just isn't that important in the grand scheme of Nokia's problems right now. (regardless of what the bully bull cheerleaders here would like to see) Nokia can settle at any time.(albeit at higher rates) I just don't see them making it front and center enough to make it part of Friday's presentation. They've got bigger problems than IDCC at the moment imo.

In addition Nokia already has money accrued for past infringement. So their would be very little initial impact to their earnings depending of course on the size of any settlement. Thus no need to get all the perceived bad news by IDCC stockholders out of the way.

Besides I think any announcements out of WMC next week will happen before anything with Nokia and possibly be more important

IDCC is not all about Nokia. A settlement will come when we least expect it.INO

Most of the recent articles on IDCC have barely mentioned Nokia if at all.
