| May 8, 2007 | A Notice of Status Review has been delivered by the Federal Court to the parties in the D-Link case. This is a standard notice filed in every case one year after a Statement of Claim is filed – the delay to date has been caused due to the parties’ disagreement over certain terms in the Claim. The main purpose of the Status Review to be conducted on June 8, 2007 is to establish timelines for the future progress of the case. There is no chance the case will be dismissed for delay, and Wi-LAN will be asking the Court to consider setting an aggressive timetable for the litigation. | Notice of Status Review |

| December 15, 2006 | The Federal Court of Canada ordered that Wi-LAN’s claim for punitive damages be struck from the Wi-LAN Statement of Claim against D-Link Canada Inc. and D-Link Systems Inc. The Court therefore allowed D-Link's appeal from a previous order made on August 21, 2006. Wi-LAN believes that this ruling does not materially impact its damages claim or prospects for recovery against D-Link. Wi-LAN wants to proceed expeditiously with its litigation and has therefore decided not to appeal this decision. | Amended Reasons for Order |
| August 24, 2006 | The Federal Court of Canada has refused to strike Wi-LAN's claim for punitive damages in its Statement of Claim against D-Link Systems, Inc. and D-Link Canada Inc.

Only one inconsequential paragraph was struck from the Statement of Claim. | Read the Order |
