Other Events. On March 23, 2007, Samsung Telecommunications America LLP and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (collectively, "Samsung"), filed an action against InterDigital Communications Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, InterDigital Technology Corporation and Tantivy Communications, Inc. (collectively, "InterDigital"), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Under the complaint, Samsung asserts that InterDigital has refused to comply with its alleged contractual obligations to be prepared to license its patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory ("FRAND") terms, and that InterDigital has allegedly engaged in unfair business practices. Samsung seeks damages and declaratory relief, including declarations that: (i) InterDigital's patents and patent applications allegedly promoted to standards bodies are unenforceable as to Samsung; (ii) Samsung has a right to practice InterDigital's intellectual property incorporated into products purchased from Qualcomm; (iii) that nine of InterDigital's patents are invalid and/or not infringed by Samsung; and (iv) InterDigital must offer Samsung a license on FRAND terms. This action follows InterDigital's earlier filed complaints on March 23, 2007 with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and certain of its affiliates. InterDigital intends to vigorously defend itself against Samsung's allegations in this matter.
