<About the only thing I can see that fits this bill is the re-implementation of a dividend payout strategy, which, of course, at least according to what Ms. Felcyn has said, appears to be the plan. So, we need to hope for a decisively favorable Markman ruling, followed by collection of early-2006-type "big bucks" in licensing fees, and then distribution of a significant portion of those proceeds to shareholders.>

I agree with the above, and take it a step further.

If a situation can be devised that would bring about a huge pps spike (for example a huge initial divy announcement) that is what should be considered. The special divy should get the pps high enough for folks to either exit or take sufficient profits to make themselves whole again. I view that as a more desirable approach than to building cash in the treasury and being stingy with the initial divvy. If there is any windfall, then future revenues should not be a concern. Let the initial windfall go directly to the shareholders. They waited long enough.

So, an initial divy that is as big as they can possibly pull off w/o placing the company in financial jeopardy. That is what I want to see.
