We are preparing for a jury trial in Waco, Texas that is now twelve weeks away in our infringement case against Intel for use of our technologies in their wireless cellular chips. We continue to expand the enforcement of the unauthorized use of our technologies and have recently filed new infringement actions against MediaTek and Realtek of Taiwan as well as an additional action against Chinese SmartTV company TCL.

"In addition, we filed our appellate brief with the CACF in August and anticipate Qualcomm's response to our brief to be filed in mid-November. We then will have the opportunity to file a reply brief after which the CFAC will set a hearing date."
