The ALJ’s initial determination is a preliminary decision that must be adopted by the full Commission before it takes effect. The Commission has up to 45 days to do so and may take longer if it chooses to review the decision. InterDigital intends to petition the Commission to review and reverse the decision.
“We believe that LG’s claim that they are entitled to arbitration based on a long-expired license agreement is without any merit and it is contrary to their actions to date, and we will petition the Commission to review the determination,” said Lawrence Shay, President of InterDigital’s patent holding subsidiaries. “Although we’re disappointed with the delay with regard to LG that comes as a result of this ruling, we remain very confident that we eventually will obtain a favorable outcome in our dispute with LG.”
