Item 8.01. Other Events.
-------------
InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation
(collectively, "InterDigital") today filed a motion for leave to file an amended
complaint with the International Trade Commission (ITC) to add a claim of
infringement on a third InterDigital patent in an action previously instituted
against Nokia Corporation and Nokia Inc. (collectively, "Nokia") in the ITC
(Investigation No. 337-TA-613). In addition, InterDigital also filed an amended
complaint with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
("Delaware District Court") to add a claim of infringement of a third
InterDigital patent in an action previously brought by InterDigital against
Nokia in the Delaware District Court.
Specifically, in both the ITC and the Delaware District Court amended
complaints, InterDigital asserts that Nokia's 3G HSDPA products, such as Nokia's
N95 (also known as N95-3) handset, infringe this third InterDigital patent.
InterDigital's original complaint with the ITC continues to allege that Nokia
engaged in an unfair trade practice by making for importation into the United
States, importing, and selling after importation certain 3G handsets and
components that infringe two of InterDigital's patents. InterDigital's original
complaint with the Delaware District Court continues to allege that Nokia's 3G
mobile handsets and components infringe the same patents identified in
InterDigital's ITC complaint.
InterDigital continues to seek an exclusion order with the ITC that
operates to bar from entry into the U.S. infringing 3G mobile handsets and
components that are imported by or on behalf of Nokia, as well as a
cease-and-desist order to bar further sales of infringing Nokia products that
have already been imported into the United States.
