ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

On November 3, 2005, the 10th Circuit Court on Civil Matters of the First Circuit in México City affirmed a May 31, 2005 decision of a lower appellate court in our favor in a case brought against us by Compania Exportadora de Maquila. Comexma, a former contract manufacturer, had alleged that its business had suffered direct damages and harm to its reputation from an unauthorized anti-counterfeiting raid on its Mexico City facilities in June 2001. The lower appellate court had held that Comexma was not entitled to any damages from us, and awarded us our attorneys’ fees and costs. The higher court affirmed the decision regarding damages, and instructed the lower appellate court to enter judgment in our favor regarding damages and to reconsider the award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 10, 2005, the lower appellate court entered a final non-appealable judgment in our favor regarding damages and reversed the award of attorneys’ fees and costs. This decision concludes this case.
