Agree.
Even though QCOM thought talks with Nokia were progressing for a GSM license, and were caught in The Snake's trap, IDCC's position is far different.
In addition to NY, final arguments are scheduled for January 30 in the U.K. 2G trial, and pre-trial discussions are scheduled for March on 3G.
I believe you're correct, that the parties asked for a delay in their letters to Judge Pauley. Proof of this could be downplaying the dismissal, and emphasizing talks.
But if Nokia agreed to talk, I believe Bill would not give them more than 30 days to sign or get off the pot.
