Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Patent License Agreement by and between InterDigital Technology Corporation and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") dated January 22, 1996 (the "1996 agreement") granted Samsung a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, perpetual patent license covering Samsung’s sale of 2G single-mode TDMA-based products. The 1996 agreement contained a most favored licensee clause, which generally provided that, in the event a third party obtains the right to a prospectively lower royalty payment under a license covering the sale of 2G single-mode TDMA-based products, Samsung’s royalty obligations under the 1996 agreement would be reduced by an appropriate amount, as further provided by the 1996 agreement. On January 30, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the patent license agreement effective November 24, 2008 and entered into on January 14, 2009 by InterDigital, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary InterDigital Communications, LLC and patent licensing subsidiaries with Samsung, the 1996 agreement was terminated.
