Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

InterDigital Communications Corporation today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, InterDigital Technology Corporation (ITC), has amended its patent license agreement with Sharp Corporation (Sharp) covering sales of GSM, narrowband CDMA and 3G products.

 

Under the amendment which affects certain payment terms and other obligations of the parties, Sharp is obligated to make an upfront payment totaling approximately $17.8 million in second quarter 2004 as an advance against future royalty obligations. This $17.8 million payment is in addition to a prepayment of $11.1 million made by Sharp upon signing the patent license agreement in 2001. Once the advance royalty payment is exhausted, Sharp will be obligated to make additional royalty payments to ITC on sales of covered products sold. The advance royalty will be recognized as revenue and reduce the prepayment balance as Sharp reports sales of covered products.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Current Report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
