Item 8.01. Other Events.
------------
Nokia Litigation Update.
-----------------------
On December 4, 2007, Nokia Inc. and Nokia Corporation (collectively,
"Nokia") moved for an order terminating, or alternatively, staying the
International Trade Commission ("ITC") investigation captioned In re Certain 3G
Mobile Handsets and Components Thereof, Investigation No. 337-TA-613
("Investigation") as to Nokia, on the ground that Nokia and InterDigital
Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation (collectively,
"InterDigital") must first arbitrate a dispute as to whether Nokia is licensed
under the patents asserted by InterDigital against Nokia in the Investigation.
On January 8, 2008, the Honorable Paul J. Luckern, the Administrative Law
Judge overseeing the Investigation, issued an order denying Nokia's motion. The
timetable for the Investigation (including Nokia and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd
and certain of its affiliates) remains unchanged with an evidentiary hearing
scheduled to commence April 21, 2008, the filing of an initial determination by
Judge Luckern planned to occur by July 11, 2008 and the final determination by
the ITC in the Investigation targeted to be rendered by November 11, 2008.
