Item 8.01.    Other Information.

On June 29, 2015, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted InterDigital Technology Corporation’s motion for a preliminary anti-suit injunction against Pegatron Corporation in the matter of InterDigital Technology Corporation, et al. v. Pegatron Corporation, Case No. 15-CV-02584-LHK (N.D. Cal.) (“NDCA Action”).  The court’s order requires that Pegatron take immediate steps to dismiss a lawsuit that Pegatron had filed against InterDigital in February 2015 in the Taiwan Intellectual Property Court (Pegatron Corporation v. InterDigital Technology Corporation, 104-Min-Pu-Tze-No. 17) (“Taiwan Action”), which alleges that certain terms of InterDigital’s Patent License Agreement (“PLA”) with Pegatron violate the Taiwan Fair Trade Act.  Because InterDigital believes the issues raised in the Taiwan Action are subject to the dispute resolution procedures of the parties’ PLA, InterDigital initiated an arbitration relating to these issues in June 2015, and then filed the NDCA Action seeking an anti-suit injunction barring Pegatron from prosecuting the Taiwan Action and compelling Pegatron to arbitrate the issues raised in the Taiwan Action.
