Item 5. Other Events.

     On November 15, 2001, ISCO International, Inc. (“ISCO”) filed suit against Dobson Communications Corporation, Dobson Operating Co., L.L.C. and Dobson Cellular Systems, Inc. (collectively “Dobson”) for infringement of ISCO’s recently issued U.S. Patent No. 6,263,215, entitled “Cryoelectronically Cooled Receiver Front End For Mobile Radio Systems,” which is the subject of existing previously disclosed litigation between ISCO, Superconductor Technologies, Inc. and Conductus, Inc. The suit against Dobson was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, and alleges that Dobson is using telecommunications equipment incorporating technology that infringes ISCO's patent without authority or license from ISCO. ISCO is seeking a permanent injunction restraining Dobson from infringing ISCO’s patent, as well as seeking triple damages plus attorney’s fees.
