FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTERDIGITAL ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2009

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — November 17, 2009 — InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC) today announced financial guidance for fourth quarter 2009. InterDigital® expects fourth quarter 2009 revenue to be in the range of approximately $75.0 million to $76.0 million. This range does not include the potential impact of any new agreements that may be signed during fourth quarter 2009 or the potential impact of any additional royalties identified in audits regularly conducted by the company.

“Fourth quarter 2009 revenue reflects some weakness in per unit royalties from our Japanese-based licensees offset by a full quarter’s contribution from our new licensee, Pantech, and solid sales by our Smartphone licensees,” commented Scott McQuilkin, InterDigital’s Chief Financial Officer. “The revenue also reflects solid growth in our technology solutions revenue, mirroring the success our technology licensees continue to see in the handset market.”
