Interdigital Communications Poised for Respect

wow...i couldnt have wriiten it better myself...its obvious you've been around the block and back w/ IDCC...i think its our time to shine...samsung settlement has yet to be reflected in earnings...just about the time that nokia and others will hit...earnings w/ just samsung look to be 2.25+...over 4.00 w/ nokia and over 5.00 w/ ericy and mot...add in a little growth for 3g...and 6.00+per share in easily doable in 2years....tony cianci

InterDigital/Samsung ITC Case: Waiting for a Decision

the thrust of samsung's opening arguments was the FACT they have offered idc what they feel is a FRANDLY amount for the use of their patent portfolio...and that idc wants about 2x what they have offered...which tells me that idc is sticking to their $2.00+ demand that other licensees such as rimm apple and lg are cueently paying and samsung is offering $1.00+ per phone....even if idc recieved only one dollar per phone....their earning would jump to almost 3 dollars overnite....the position samsung is taking is hardly the posture you would see if samsung thought they would win the infringement issue..imo...the staff attorney as the advocate of the people...bought into FRAND as a protection of the general public[thats they way sam and nok sell it]...the only problem w/ that ...is this case is about infringement....the itc is not here to set rates...samsung will be be found guilty of infringing at least one of the myriad of claims accross the 5 patents at issue... and the alj along w/ the commision will rule that a violation has occured...the real power here is not wielded by the staff attorney...but by the judge and ultimately the commsion...which has already overuled the judge and the staff attorney by reinstating the 791 patent into the case after the judge and staff knocked it out over a technicality on the definition of the word "if"
