ron: Considering a settlement as favorable to IDCC, your "gut feeling" of an 80% chance of a positive outcome for IDCC is almost identical to that for overall ITC actions. I previously posted the results of a study on the outcome of ITC filings. The study contained the following figures;

Settlement...211.....52%
Violation......109.....27%
No violation...85.....21%

Total...........405....100%

Jim thanks for sharing your opinion. If I felt the same as you that there is a 97% chance of a settlement and only a 3% chance of going to a decision, I would be back in this stock PRONTO. However, my gut feeling is not anywhere near yours. I subjectively feel that the probabilty of settlement before the ALJ ruling is about 60%. Of the remaining 40%, I give a 20% chance of a favorable ruling to IDCC and a 20% chance of a favorable ruling to Nokia. Therefore at this point, I subjectively assign an overall 80% chance of a positive outcome to IDCC and a 20% chance of a positive outcome to Nokia."
