Loop, Chartex, while the logic of this thinking is inescapable, my fervent hope is that the controlling criteria for any settlement (or choosing to go to trial) is for IDCC to obtain a reasonably fair settlement for past infringement, with an advantageous licensing agreement going forward. (A truly fair settlement, compensating IDCC for years of diminished size, capacities, etc. due to lack of deserved income from several licensing sources, which would bankrupt Ericy, won't happen.) All the other considerations of timing are secondary, perhaps even trivial. The payoff to long-term investors is ultimately the success of the company over the next half-dozen years or more.
'Course, you already knew that. And I'm sure Loop was talking about ideal timing for a settlement. Can't blame you for that!
peace,
