lastchoice, being in IDCC since 1993, I think I have been patient enough. Management should inform us and protect those that have been investing in this company. Sure, due to the efforts of members on this board, we have LIMITED information that most do not. Limited in the sense that we have no idea what the settlement means.

That being the case, IDCC management should halt trading so some don't get hurt either by selling too soon or buying on limited information. Is it too much to ask that management do what the SEC states they should do when news starts to leak as it is now?

I hope this is finally our time but management is not doing us any favors at this time by being quiet.

Tantivy changed its infringement claims late in the game and LU countered by saying that it this is the first notice of such infringement by Tantivy. Therefore, they stated that any infringement found should be from that date forward. We will have to wait to see how big the past sums are before we fully understand the ground work for the settlement and license.

lastchoice - Concerning the 8/01/05 date

JMHO - But it seems the settlement is with Tantivy for units produced prior to 8/1/05 at one royalty rate and after that date at a different royalty rate by virtue of a licensing agreement with IDCC. This is pretty slick (MO) in that IDCC can cut LU a break on the royalty owed Tantivy without invoking MFL clauses in IDCC's other contracts at the lower rate but rather at the stated rate in the new LU license. I like it a lot! NOTE this is just speculation on my part.
