Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

(a)  On May 30, 2006, InterDigital Communications Corporation issued a press
     release providing revenue guidance for second quarter 2006. A copy of the
     press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

In May 2006, we resolved a dispute with Panasonic Mobile Communications Co.,
Ltd. (formerly known as Matsushita Communications Industrial Co., Ltd.)
(Panasonic) regarding royalty payment provisions under our 2001 CDMA (including
3G) patent license agreement. As part of the resolution of this matter,
Panasonic agreed that, through December 31, 2005, they had exhausted $12.0
million against an advance payment on royalties of $19.5 million made in 2001.
Prior to the resolution, the parties had disagreed as to whether or not certain
Panasonic licensed products infringed one or more of our licensed patents, which
would have triggered Panasonic's royalty obligations. As a result, we had not
recognized any of the $19.5 million advance royalty payment as revenue. We will
recognize the $12.0 million exhaustion as revenue in second quarter 2006 along
with per-unit royalties to be reported by Panasonic related to their sales of
licensed products in first quarter 2006.
