Order of Transfer in Ericsson Litigation
 
On December 12, 2002, an order was entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas at the request of Judge Barefoot Sanders that the case of Ericsson Radio Systems, Inc v. InterDigital Communications Corporation be transferred to Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn in the same Federal District Court. The order further specified that the case remain on its current pretrial and trial schedule subject to any modifications that Judge Lynn may direct. The commencement date for the trial remains February 10, 2003.
 
2002 Cash Flow Update
 
The Company no longer anticipates a breakeven cash flow for the full year 2002 due to a slight shift in timing of the receipt of the second settlement payment from NEC (now anticipated in January 2003) partially offset by cash from exercises of warrants and options.

 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
