Other Events. InterDigital, Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation, (collectively, "InterDigital") received notice that the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") has voted to institute an investigation into whether Nokia Corporation and Nokia, Inc. (collectively, "Nokia") engaged in unfair trade practices by making for importation into the U.S., importing and selling after importation certain 3G handsets and components that infringe two of InterDigital's patents. Among the products identified in InterDigital's complaint in the investigation is Nokia's N75 handset. The investigation was prompted by a complaint filed on August 7, 2007, by InterDigital, in which InterDigital is seeking a permanent exclusion order barring from entry into the U.S. infringing 3G mobile handsets and components that are imported by or on behalf of Nokia. In addition, the complaint asks for a permanent cease and desist order barring further sales of infringing products that have already been imported into the United States. The case (No. 337-TA-613) has been referred to ITC Administrative Law Judge Paul J. Luckern, who will schedule and hold an evidentiary hearing and then issue his decision in an initial determination. The ITC indicated in its press release dated September 5, 2007, that the final determination will be completed "at the earliest practicable time," with a target date being announced within 45 days after the institution of the investigation. As noted in InterDigital's previous press release dated August 7, 2007 relating to the action, typical schedules used by the ITC would result in a trial on the matter by June 2008. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
