Item 5. Other Events.
On November 14, 1997, Intel Corporation ("Intel") sued the Company in U.S.
District Court for the District of Delaware. Intel's complaint alleges that
the Company, by making, using and selling devices, is willfully infringing
four U.S. patents owned by Intel. Regarding each of these patents, Intel
seeks a judgement that the Company has infringed on the patent, an injunction
prohibiting further infringement, an accounting of all damages caused by the
alleged infringement, treble the amount of damages caused by the alleged
infringement and attorney's fees, costs and expenses. The Company believes
that the allegations in the Intel complaint are without merit and intends to
vigorously defend itself against such action. The Federal Trade Commission
has initiated contact with the Company to gather information about the case.
