How about Jorma's statement in Israel about not believing in self -evident truths because of not wanting to disrupt internal beliefs. I believe Professors Pfeffer and Sutton of the Stanford Business School are teaching a course called Evidenced-Based Management (www.evidencebasedmanagement.com) that the Nokia folks should be attending. They might learn something.

Eric: I am hearing all kinds of opinions here. I must say I don't really know how this all is going to end, and that is why I am (almost) out of cell phone stocks at the moment. Now here is the point: both companies have thousands of patents, some essential, some not. And those patents have tens of thousands of claims. Pretty much nobody can know which one of those can cause an injunction (well, one claim in one patent can do it). Now: to solve this problem, maybe hundreds of law suits will be needed instead of dozens now. That is not a question of hundreds of millions of dollars but billions in legal expenses. As said, I don't know who is going to blink first, even though I strongly believe that both companies have enough weapons to cause injunctions. Betting on anything else is just BS. At the moment I think it is better just to sell them both.
