Item 8.01. Other Events.
------------
(a) Samsung Award Update.
--------------------
On December 18, 2007, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") filed
an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and
posted an appeal bond, in the amount of approximately $166.7 million, with the
United States District Court in the Southern District of New York ("New York
District Court"). The appeal and posting of the appeal bond arise from the Order
of Judgment in the amount of $150.25 million entered by the New York District
Court on December 10, 2007, which confirmed the enforcement of an August 2006
arbitral award against Samsung in its entirety. By posting the appeal bond,
Samsung has stayed execution of the Order of Judgment pending the appeal.
(b) Nokia UK II Litigation Update.

On December 21, 2007, InterDigital, Inc. ("InterDigital") issued a
press release announcing that the English High Court had issued a judgment in

Corporation, and Nokia Corporation. A copy of the press release is attached
