Item 8.01. Other Events.
-------------
On October 24, 2007, the Honorable Paul J. Luckern, the Administrative Law
Judge overseeing the two United States International Trade Commission ("ITC")
proceedings involving InterDigital, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries
InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation
(collectively, the "Company") against Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd and certain of
its affiliates (collectively, "Samsung"), and against Nokia Corporation and
Nokia, Inc. (collectively, "Nokia"), respectively, issued an Order to
consolidate the two pending investigations. Pursuant to the Order, the schedules
for both investigations have been revised to consolidate proceedings and set a
unified evidentiary hearing on April 21-28, 2008, the filing of a single initial
determination by Judge Luckern by July 11, 2008, and a Target Date for the
consolidated investigations of November 11, 2008, by which date the ITC will
issue its final determination. As to the investigation against Nokia, the Order
accelerates the previous evidentiary hearing date and ITC Target Date, which
were scheduled for June 16, 2008 and December 11, 2008, respectively. As to the
investigation against Samsung, the Order modifies the previous evidentiary
hearing date and ITC Target Date, which were scheduled for January 30, 2008 and
July 28, 2008, respectively.
As compared to the original separate schedules, the Order should result in
an accelerated final determination of InterDigital's combined claims with the
ITC.
