Since the QCOM statement provides for re-rate setting, the challenge now would be how to accomplish the change. Here are 2 potential options for consideration.
1. Upon acquisition of IDCC, incorporate IDCC as a subsidiary in the same manner as Google is arranging for Motorola .
2. Merge patent portfolios and renegotiate existing 4G patents as needed. Use past royalties due to IDCC as a negotiating point during discussion
I welcome thoughts and feedback from everyone.
Data, since you have thought this was highly unlikely for the past decade, I would appreciate your insights. If you believe it is still highly unlikely, can you think of a concept of operations how it would be feasible? Thanks in advance.to
FYI - My posts are only to better understand why as some people believe QCOM is not a candidate to purchase IDCC. I believe they are but whether they are or not my only interest is for the IDCC stock to be fairly valued.
