Item 8.01.        Other Events.

On February 14, 2005, the Tribunal presiding over the arbitration proceeding
between InterDigital Communications Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary
InterDigital Technology Corporation (ITC), and Nokia Corporation (Nokia),
notified the parties that the International Court of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has set May 31, 2005 as the last date
for rendering a Final Award. The Company anticipates a decision by the ICC on or
before that date absent an earlier resolution by the parties. The arbitration
relates to Nokia's royalty obligations on its worldwide sales of 2G GSM/TDMA and
2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE products under its existing patent license agreement with
ITC.
