Order Granting Extension to File Proposed Discovery and Docket Control Orders 

August 14, 2008

Judge T. John Ward orders that all claims against Texas Instruments, Incorporated are dismissed without prejudice to the right to assert such claims in the future.

Management Comment
Wi-LAN views the removal of TI as a defendant, combined with TI’s agreement not to seek a declaratory judgment against Wi-LAN, as positive developments. Wi-LAN expects that these developments should reduce the overall expense to Wi-LAN of conducting this litigation since one defendant is eliminated. Since TI’s customers will still remain as defendants in the case, Wi-LAN does not expect that the potential damages available to Wi-LAN in the suit will be reduced. Wi-LAN also retains the right to seek damages from, or bring a future lawsuit against, TI for infringement of the patents at issue, should it choose to do so.
