Thanks slacker. I agree. Thanks for putting it in a form that is easily understandable. Still, I'm thinking it's been too long for a sale to occur. Maybe a SA that teams IDCC with another entity that has complimentary patents with more leverage to licence the bigger companies or an outright purchase of a smaller company such as wilan that would compliment IDCC's patent portfolio giving IDCC more value. Course I could be wrong, but the "going on 6 months doesn't look good to me". Btw, 2 cents? I believe you gave your opinion away too cheap. :) mo.. nic "Assuming that the patent can be designed around (which seems likely), this decision was good for IDCC. First and foremost, they won't see a dramatic drop in their HTC royalties. Second, the patent war goes on between Apple and HTC. IDCC doesnt want either company to get an injunction which would dramatically increase the odds for a settlement. Better to have the companies still fighting with both at least considering buying a part or all of IDCC. " "Just my two cents."
