laranger: This post captures the essence of today's hearing.
Because many of the documents in this case had been filed under seal, none of us knew for sure whether something new or unexpected would come out of today's hearing.
As Donald Rumsfeld would have said, "We didn't know, what we didn't know."
But now that the whole world knows for sure that Nokia has no pot in which to pee, and that Nokia's appeal (if they do appeal) will be fruitless, the share price should move up.
From here, any negotiating leverage that Nokia may have will begin to diminish over time.
If Nokia does not realize this, then I am confident that other potential licensees will.
I am confident that, even if Nokia files an appeal, we will soon see some significant license agreements (Samsung, LG, Novatel, Ericsson, etc.).
I am very encouraged by today's hearing.
Have a good weekend all.
