844 King Street
Wilmington, DE 19801
Re: Nokia v. InterDigital; C.A. No. 05-16 §JJF[
Dear Judge Farnan:
Pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Scheduling Order, the parties submit this Interim
Status Report.
This case involves Nokia's claim that InterDigital has violated the Lanham Act by
making false and misleading statements that its patents are essential to 3G standards, and
InterDigital's defenses thereto.
Both sides have responded to interrogatories and doctunent requests, and have
produced documents. While production continues, between the parties, approximately 40,000
pages of documents have been produced. The parties have not yet begun to produce
electronically stored documents although they anticipate doing so in the near future. Document
production is continuing on both sides. Two depositions have been taken and the parties expect
a number of additional depositions to be taken in the coming weeks and months.
A number of discovery issues have been submitted to Special Master Seitz for
resolution. Some of those matters have been resolved by the parties or by the Special Master.
There are currently three motions pending before the Special Master, including InterDigital's
Motion to Compel, Nokia's “Motion for Declaration That Documents are Discoverable" and
InterDigital's "Cross Motion to Stay Discovery Relating to Statements Made During Confidential
Licensing Presentations Pending Resolution of Arbitration Proceedings."

Given the Special Master’s active management of the various discovery issues,
the parties do not currently believe that it is necessary for the Court to hold the October 5 status
conference, and request that it be taken off calendar.
Respectfully,
