Nokia and Samsung Litigation Update.
------------------------------------
On April 8, 2008, InterDigital, Inc., InterDigital Technology Corporation and
InterDigital Communications, LLC (collectively, "InterDigital") filed a request
for a stay and for an expedited appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit ("Second Circuit") of a ruling from the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "District Court"), which preliminarily
enjoined InterDigital from proceeding against Nokia Corporation and Nokia, Inc.
("Nokia") in a United States International Trade Commission ("USITC")
investigation captioned In re Certain 3G Mobile Handsets and Components Thereof,
Investigation No. 337-TA-613 (the "Investigation"). On April 16, 2008, the
Second Circuit denied the motion to stay the preliminary injunction and ruled
that the appeal will be expedited and a briefing schedule will be set.
InterDigital will file a motion with the USITC to separate the currently
consolidated Investigation alleging unfair trade practices against Nokia and
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd and certain of its affiliates ("Samsung") in order
for the Investigation to continue against Samsung pending the expedited appeal.
