but I've always wondered where IDCC would be going perchance IDCC took a hit with the cafc decision (its possible) and since LG decided not to renew, why would sammy feel they should be one of the only majors to be paying licensing fees? Thinking about it, IDCC will have two shots to increase the odds of licensing Samsung. The first would be a CAFC win (and presumably subsequent Nokia licensing) and the second would be a win in the USITC trial that they began in July. Absent wins in one of those two cases, it is hard to see that Samsung will see things much differently than LG did this year. No company likes to pay royalties but I think it becomes much tougher to justify the decision when you see so much of the industry manage to either avoid paying royalties or pay a nominal rate (Apple).
