"As soon as I find.. management is.. self-serving, I will sell" - then you should sell now. While your support for management is noble, where do you place your own interests in your priorities? Tell me, what is your threshold limit for dilution from ISO? If Management requested the returns on 99% of your investments would you approve it?

I really would like to know your sincere thoughts on these questions.

Dishfan re 2002 option grants, I have to disagree with your following statement:

...."In 2002 management received no new options. It should be very clear that management does not intend to use all of the options for themselves. "

From page 26 of the proxy re 2002 option grants as follows:


...."Howard E. Goldberg, President and Chief Executive Officer

Of the 1.1m options granted in 2002, IDCC's management and directors still received almost 300,000 new option grants. This is in addition to the totally outrageous amount of options that they received in 2001.
