IDCC shoul be close to $70+ right now! Because, "IDCC has more than 1,000 patents but, thanks to how this settlement triggered the Nokia and Samsung provisions, is now poised to generate more than $3.00 per share, I repeat, $3.00+ per share in annually recurring royalty income!!!!" QCOM is close to $40 while having arount $1.50 patent-revenue per share!

I know that you are still suffering from the natural letdown of overheated billion-dollar expectations regarding the Ericsson settlement, but the ultimate value of a patent is determined by what at least two parties can agree on, not some so-called objective measures that are actually very subjective and misleading. In this case, IDCC was less than 60 days away from the start of the trial of a 10-year case which, at the very least, indicates that there were very serious and very credible disagreements about the worth of IDCC's patents. Keep in mind that more than 97% of all patents do not, I repeat, DO NOT, produce any income at all. For real-world perspective, consider that IBM, the long-time leader in IP royalties, has more than 30,000 patents but produce less than $1.75 per share in royalty income. QCOM has more than 3,000 patents and generates more than $1.50 per share in royalty income. IDCC has more than 1,000 patents but, thanks to how this settlement triggered the Nokia and Samsung provisions, is now poised to generate more than $3.00 per share, I repeat, $3.00+ per share in annually recurring royalty income!!!! How can anyone be unhappy with that kind of result, I do not understand. I just don't. Relax, take several deep breaths and spend some money. When you come back, track the growth of DEFERRED REVENUES (balance sheet), DEFERRED REVENUES RECOGNIZED (cash flow) and CASH/INVESTMENTS (balance sheet) so you can understand the growing appeal of IDCC's new and improved operating model now that the legal cloud of uncertainty created by the ERICY litigation is gone.
