Second Circuit Reverses Injunction Preventing InterDigital from Proceeding against Nokia before U.S. International Trade Commission

Decision Finds Nokia Waived Any Right to Arbitrate a License
Defense
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) announced today that the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has issued a Summary Order
reversing a decision by a lower court granting a preliminary
injunction preventing InterDigital from proceeding against Nokia at
the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC). Among its
determinations, the Court held that Nokia, through its own repeated,
intentional invocation of the judicial process, had waived any right
to arbitrate whether it has a license under InterDigital's 3G patents
involved in the USITC investigation.

"We are pleased with the Court's decision and believe it will
clear the path for InterDigital to proceed in the action involving
Nokia before the U.S. International Trade Commission," said Lawrence
F. Shay, President of Patent Licensing. "InterDigital intends to
promptly notify the USITC of the decision, and we look forward to an
evidentiary hearing with Nokia."

The USITC action alleges Nokia has engaged in an unfair trade
practice by making for importation into the United States, importing,
and selling after importation certain 3G mobile handsets and
components that infringe certain InterDigital patents.
