However the probability if getting some income from the patents is positive, even though it may take a further period of time before all of the legal appeals allowed by the US system is fully finished.

I was thinking the same thing. The same staement was issued after the summary judgment too. Where I differ from you is in your remark:

"... that the results did not affect the amount sought."

I took the statement to mean that the Markman Hearing did not materially affect the case not the amount sought. I do not know if we were ever told how much was sought by IDCC since everything was under seal.


Also IMO, the two cases are different. IMO, IDCC risked everything in Ericy but has very little to lose but everything to gain in the Lucent case. I also believe that IDCC wants a verdict in the Lucent case. I base this belief on the below extract from the recent filings in the case. I know many feel I am reading too much into the extract.

" INTERROGATORY NO. 33

Explain in detail why you were not obligated to offer Lucent a license before filing suit against Lucent. "
