On February 8, 2008, the Company, TPL and Alliacense Ltd. were named as defendants in three separate lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Asustek Computer, Inc., HTC Corporation, and Acer, Inc., and affiliated entities of each of them. On February 13, 2008, the Asustek claims were amended to include claims against MCM Portfolio, LLC (Alliacense and MCM Portfolio are TPL-related entities), which do not involve the Company.

The Asustek case seeks declaratory relief that our '336, '584 and '749 patents are not infringed by enforceable claims of those patents. The Asustek action also seeks a similar declaration with respect to two patents owned by TPL that are not a part of the MMP Portfolio, and as such the Company is not engaged in this aspect of the litigation and defense. The Acer complaint seeks invalidity of the '336, '584 and '749 patents. The HTC complaint seeks invalidity of those three and our '148 patent. Our responsive pleadings, including potential counterclaims for patent infringement are currently scheduled to be filed by April 25, 2008.
