loophole,

Are you sure that there was no meeting between IDCC and NOK in 2003? I thought they did meet but IDCC did not budge from the amount demanded and I think that was what the NOK spokesperson was referring to when she said that they could not negotiate because IDCC was asking too much.

Loop, I love this statement from Judge Pauley in his award confirmation order. It seems to highlight and simplfy what you posted.

The following is from page 21 of the award order of Judge Pauley.

"For each of the contract terms, Nokia "merely takes issue with the arbitrator's well-reasoned interpretations of those provisions, and simply offers its own contrary interpretations." and

"Nokia's assertion that notions of fairness and equity distracted the Panel from a good faith appraisal of the agreements is contradicted by the Awards explicit and repeated reliance on the PLA and Master Agreement."

I find this all to be analogous to the waterboarding methods that Bush has used against terrorists.

The arbitration decision rendered by the ICC was like tying Nokia to the inclined board, feet above head.

The dismissal of the 3G claims in Delaware was like wrapping cellophane around Nokia's face.

And now the arbitration confirmation by the SDNY is like pouring water all over Nokia's face.

Those guys can't breathe now. In fact, they think they're drowning.

It's only a matter of time until Nokia caves. Only a matter of time.
