| Gain Contingency, Description | Although the Company believed LGE’s claims were without merit, it deferred the recognition of revenue related to CDMA subscriber unit royalties reported and paid by LGE in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016 because, among other reasons, the matter was submitted to arbitration for resolution. As a result of the settlement, commencing with the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company will no longer defer royalty revenues reported by LGE and will record greater than $200 million of revenues that were previously deferred. | ||
