IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
NOKIA CORPORATION and NOKIA INC., :
Plaintiffs,
v. C.A. No. 05-16-JJF
INTERDIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
CORPORATION and INTERDIGITAL :
TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, :
Defendants.
PLAINTIFFS’ OBJECTIONS TO THE
AUGUST 20, 2007 DECISION OF THE SPECIAL MASTER
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53(g), Nokia Corporation and Nokia Inc.
(collectively "Nokia") hereby file their Objections to the decision of Special Master Seitz issued `
on August 20, 2007, in which he refused to temporarily stay discovery proceedings regarding
two InterDigital patents (out of the hundreds of patents subject to discovery in this dispute). A
temporary stay of discovery regarding these two patents, which lnterDigital has recently put at
issue in other litigation, would cause no prejudice to InterDigital Communications Corp. and .
InterDigitaI Technology Corp. (collectively "InterDigital"). Moreover, such a limited stay is
necessary to avoid prejudice to Nokia and to conserve judicial resources.
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in Nokia’s Brief in Support, the Special Master
erred in refusing to issue a temporary stay of discovery regarding two InterDigital patents that
currently are at issue inother litigation. Nokia respectfully requests that the Special Master’s
decision on this issue be reversed and that, with respect to these two patents, the Court enter a
temporary stay of discovery sufficient to prevent unnecessary prejudice to Nokia and to
appropriately conserve judicial resources.
