And your reasoning that the $8mm patent purchase was, perhaps, "another failed litigation effort" is....what?

Besides Moto, what are the other failed litigation efforts?

Thank you.

[dndodd]

Corp,

You are making to many assumptions without the facts in points 4,5,6.

I think the management at IDCC is doing an excellent job at his time under the current conditions.

We will all know more in June or sooner. IMO

Since you are at odds with IDCC Management's Business plan, regarding CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRETS..Do you also have an opinion as to why General Dynamics is not listed as a licensee on IDCC's Licensee Web page, and whether you would have done differently if you were in charge of their Business Plan? TIA

P.S. Does LOMP actually hold any Patents in his sole name and not assigned to others? TIA


3) An $8M purchase(?) on patents (our business model) is important and apparently material enough to warrant itemized disclosure.

(4) If management is blowing off a serious question from shareholders with BS about "competitive reasons", then that says something about management, which concerns me. I really don't understand how there could be anything competitive about the source of these patents, unless another purchase is imminent, which could not be the case if the source is now a BK company with no more assets.

(5) If we incurred another $8M expense from a another failed litigation effort, which may be the situation, then that also says something relevant about management, especially if they give us BS to obscure the facts.

(6) Shareholders are probably the one interested parties that do not know the story behind these obviously important patents.

I will go back to the case file and read a bit to see what the "breach of contract" with Lomp was about or even if it involved patents, which it may not.

"go back to the case file and read a bit to see what the 'breach of contract' with Lomp was about or even if it involved patents, which it may not" - following is the docket report. The listed documents are not available on pacer. From this it appears:

* The case DID involve Layerone and Lomp. It seems Lomp wanted to exit the case personally.

* This case probably did involve patents (since IDCC wanted to file certain docs under seal);

* Doc. #47 refers to a sealed document involving Bruce A. Eisenstein, who may be an EE professor at Drexel (near KOP). He has done something with "Suboptimum detection of weak signals in non-Gaussian noise", which seems to relate to the description of the patents purchased; See:
http://www.bruceeisenstein.com/

Are the above circumstances confirmatory of the the theory that the recent patent purchase had something to do with Layerone?

[hookrider]

Corp_Buyer: you will let's us know IF you find any dirty little secrets or just plain dirt you dig it up on IDCC. Want you??? lol of course you will.
When you finish with IDCC you can it a job with one of those dirt bag newspapers.

[sailfreeee]

You said "(4) If management is blowing off a serious question from shareholders with BS about "competitive reasons", then that says something about management, which concerns me. I really don't understand how there could be anything competitive about the source of these patents, unless another purchase is imminent, which could not be the case if the source is now a BK company with no more assets."

Why would you invest in a company when YOU can not trust the leadership.


IMHO you have a hidden adgenda.

[loophole73]

Corp_buyer

In response to your post:

1. This is merely a conclusion unsupported by any previous evidence. There are a myriad of reasons why a group of patent claims are off the industry radar at this time.

2. Completely naive on your part. Most of the wireless sector is producing new technology on a daily basis and the identification of these patents could tip off an area on which IDCC is focusing and does not wish others to follow suit.

3. The purchase has been disclosed in an SEC filing to the extent that IDCC believes is necessary. The company has employees that formerly worked for the SEC and I have every confidence that they are well informed as to the content required in said filing.

4. Management has not blown-off anyone. Competitive reasons can mean a lot in an invention driven industry.

5. IDCC identified a cash purchase without any mention of the term "settlement". Your version is a tea leave concoction that will not pass the taste test.

6. Another jumpy conclusion because these patent claims may have been considered and rejected previously at a standards table, but have become in play again as a result of the problems and failures experienced by those companies who were first to market.
