One needs to be careful reading anything into daily short trades. These trades have very little , if anything, to do with short interest. They are only trades that are initiated as short. Thanks to the Madoff exception, hedgies and brokers can "short" shares without first borrowing. The combination of the Madoff exception and the ability to short on down-ticks are the the basis for the daily manipulation of stocks.

Net: Trading volume reporting is pretty complicated and I have no idea how how it is reported.

In regard to the FINRA/NASDAQ reported SV 40,924/TV 74850 for IDCC, the site also reported for IDCC from FINRA/NYSE SV2,600/TV 7400.

The following site summarizing today's total trading activity can give you some idea as to where trades may be made and reported from.
