ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         On May 24, 2002, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York issued an order of summary judgment dismissing the patent
infringement suit filed by ACTV, Inc. against The Walt Disney Co. and certain of
its subsidiaries. ACTV's suit alleged infringement of certain ACTV patents
covering the enhancement of television and other programming with synchronous
Internet-based functions. Without addressing the validity and enforceability of
the three patents in suit, the Court reached summary judgment on
non-infringement alone. ACTV, Inc. is in strong disagreement with the Court's
decision and is currently evaluating its options, including an appeal.


ITEM 7. EXHIBITS

(c)      Exhibits.

99.1     Press Release dated May 24, 2002 announcing summary judgment in favor
         of The Walt Disney Co. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively
         "Walt Disney") in connection with ACTV, Inc.'s patent infringement suit
         against Walt Disney.
