O'dog and NukeJohn, I will take a CAFC decision in IDCC's favor whenever it comes out. One thing I can say is great for us is that we did not get bounced "Per Curiam". To me that means this case is going to have a great written decision, win-lose-or draw. But you really can't draw at the CAFC.

So the parties have time to talk to each other and to 'mediate' a win win settlement.

That could possibly extend the decision to the second week of March?

Olddog, the other factor in this timing is that one of the judges asked both parties that if they were willing to make any of the confidential information in their briefs non-confidential, then they should refile new briefs. Who knows if that has even happened yet. I looked on the PACER website, and it looks like the ITC had a recent filing, but nothing from IDCC or Nokia. If that has yet to happen, then I think we would be lucky to see anything within 90 days of the oral argument. I wish it was different, but it isn't. I would love to think that Nokia will settle within this time, but unless the new CEO has a drastically different agenda, I'm sure the legal team is saying the same thing they have all along. No reason to pay until the court tells us we have to. As I understand it, even if IDCC wins this round, there still could be a lenthy process involved before Nokia was forced to pay or stop using the technology. Let's just hope that the new management has a different approach to licensing technology.
