Item 8.01 Other Events

In September 1995, Pilkington filed a patent application in Germany for XIR film characteristics. Southwall challenged the patent. This patent was revoked by the German Patent Court on April 20, 2004. A separate patent application had been filed by Pilkington in the European Patent Office on September 13, 1996, and a patent was granted. A separate opposition has been filed by southwall; however, the European Patent Office did not allow the opposition and maintained the patent. The Company cannot assess the impact at this time.
