investigation as it pertains to LG's claim of an arbitrable defense based on a expired license covenant, sends the matter to the full commission for review, with ample time to continue against LG if the commission reverse the ALJ's ID.
Additionally, by claiming a license protection then isn't LG affirming the patents as valid by claiming license to them. Or the right to license them at an agreed price, which is the most likely point of contention between LG and IDCC.
HOwever, to negotiate under a contract one must demonstrate that has been their practice rather than obstructionism and delay.
I am with IDCC on this ruling appeal it to the commission and keep the pressure on LG.
