Item 5. Other Events.
InterDigital Technology Corporation ("ITC"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of InterDigital Communications Corporation ("InterDigital"), has entered into a
worldwide, royalty bearing TDMA patent license agreements with Denso Corporation
("Denso"). Under the agreement, ITC received an up-front payment from Denso,
covering the equipment manufacturer's sale of a certain quantity of PHS and PDC
subscriber units and PHS infrastructure units. Denso will also be required to
pay ITC future royalties on the sale of products built under TDMA-based PHS and
PDC standards, once Denso's up-front payment is used. This transaction brings
InterDigital's total patent licensing and alliance revenues in 1998 to
approximately $75 million.
