Item 8.01. Other Events.
The United States District Court for the District of Delaware ("District
Court") has entered two Stipulated Orders staying proceedings, in a first matter
of InterDigital Communications Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
InterDigital Technology Corporation, (together, "InterDigital") against Samsung
Electronics Co. Ltd and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Samsung
Electronics"), and in a second matter of Samsung Telecommunications America LLP
and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Samsung Telecommunications")
against InterDigital and certain InterDigital affiliates. Both Stipulated Orders
were agreed to by the parties.
One of the Stipulated Orders stays InterDigital's District Court proceeding
against Samsung Electronics until the United States International Trade
Commission's ("ITC") determination becomes final. Specifically, InterDigital's
District Court proceeding against Samsung Electronics parallels an investigation
by the ITC against Samsung Electronics based upon a complaint by InterDigital
alleging that Samsung Electronics has engaged in unfair trade practices by
importing for sale certain 3G handsets and components that infringe four of
InterDigital's patents.
The other Stipulated Order stays Samsung Telecommunications' District Court
proceeding against InterDigital until September 14, 2007. In addition, although
the parties are not limited in pursuing any legal actions with regard to any
existing legal proceedings between them or their affiliates, it was agreed by
the parties that any new proceeding brought by InterDigital or Samsung
Telecommunications against the other party on or before September 14, 2007 would
automatically terminate the stay in the Samsung Telecommunications' District
Court proceeding against InterDigital.
