Others argue that the more significant "material information" was not reported. Company used the NDA to hide it from public. Obviously, the more (or lt lease as ) significant "material information" is the settlement terms (one time license fee vs. one time license fee plus on going royalties, $ amount of the settlement, whether the Patent reexamination requestd by J3 are to be withdrawn or not, etc.) Without disclosing all "material information", company is not in compliance with the SEC rules.
As I've said, more than once, confidential business agreements are exempted by the SEC from full disclosure. Not only was this one such example, it was a court directed NDA. I posted the link that shows information that is confidential remains so as per SEC regulations.
Again, once an ex parte re-examination has commenced it will continue until its conclusion, unlike an inter partes request.
I respectfully request that arguments are factually based, regardless of how this might weaken and undermine a premise.
Anderson Consulting. Where is it now?
There is a misconception that the name change from Andersen Consulting to Accenture was simply the consulting firm's attempt to "hide" from the Enron scandal. This is not accurate given the timing of events. The split from Arthur Andersen was requested by the consulting side in 1998, and finally awarded in 2000; the Enron scandal (starting with the reporting of the infamous "LJM Partnerships") did not occur until well into 2001, with the scandal culminating in the months after that.
On July 29, 2001, Accenture offered initial public offering (IPO) at the price of $14.50 per share in New York Stock Exchange (NYSE); Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley served as its lead underwriters. Accenture stock closed the day at $15.17, with the day's high at $15.25. On the first day of the IPO, Accenture raised nearly 1.7 billion dollars.
Accenture Ltd. (NYSE: ACN, ISIN: BMG1150G1116) is a global management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing company registered in Hamilton, Bermuda with its main U.S. office in Chicago, Illinois. With more than 170,000 employees in 49 countries and reported revenues of US$19.7 billion in 2007, Accenture is the largest consulting firm in the world[1] and is one of the largest computer services and software companies on the Fortune Global 500 list.[2]
