PROSPECTUS
 
[LUCENT LOGO]
                            LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES INC.
                       200,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
 
     The 200,000,000 shares of common stock of Lucent Technologies Inc. offered
by this prospectus are shares of common stock issuable under warrants that have
been or will be issued by Lucent in connection with the settlement of litigation
against Lucent in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, in
accordance with the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated September 22,
2003, among Lucent and the other participants in the settlement. The warrants
have been or will be issued by Lucent under a warrant agreement between Lucent
and The Bank of New York, as warrant agent, without compliance with the
registration and prospectus requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of
1933 in accordance with the exemption provided under Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
 
     Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
"LU". On December 1, 2004, the last reported sale price per share of our common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $3.99.
 
     Lucent will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants but not from
the sale of the underlying common stock. The warrants may be exercised at any
time for a period of three years after the date of issuance. The warrants
entitle the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock for each
warrant. See "USE OF PROCEEDS."
 
     INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES RISKS. SEE "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGE 2 OF
THIS PROSPECTUS.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
     Lucent's certificate of incorporation provides that a director of the
company shall not be personally liable to the company or its securityholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except, if required
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, for liability (a) for any breach of the
directors' duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions or
(d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Neither the amendment nor repeal of such provision shall eliminate or
reduce the effect of such provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any
cause of action, suit or claim that, but for such provision, would accrue or
arise prior to such amendment or repeal.
 
     While Lucent's certificate of incorporation provides directors with
protection from awards for monetary damages for breach of their duty of care, it
does not eliminate such duty. Accordingly, Lucent's certificate of incorporation
will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an
injunction or rescission based on a director's breach of his or her duty of
care.
 
     Lucent's certificate of incorporation provides that each person who was or
is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such
person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a
director or officer of the company or is or was serving at the request of the
company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the company to the fullest
extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or
may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the company to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the company to provide prior to
such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or
suffered by such person in connection therewith. Such right to indemnification
includes the right to have the company pay the expenses incurred in defending
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such rights are not
exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of Lucent's certificate of incorporation or
by-laws, agreement, vote of securityholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise. No repeal or modification of such provision will in any way diminish
or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer,
 
                                       II-1

 
employee or agent of the company thereunder in respect of any occurrence or
matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.
 
     Lucent's certificate of incorporation also specifically authorizes the
company to maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to
employees or agents of the company. The directors and officers of the company
are covered by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities,
including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which
might be incurred by them in such capacities.
 
     Lucent has agreed in a consent decree with the SEC that the company shall
not indemnify any person for the payment of civil penalties, disgorgement or
prejudgment interest if such person is found liable for fraud, in an action
brought by the SEC, unless such indemnification is required by Lucent's
certificate of incorporation (as in effect at the time the company entered into
the decree) or Delaware law.

        in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
        changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
        the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
        or any material change to such information in the registration
        statement;
 
     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
     those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
     to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
     statement.
 
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in
                                       II-2

 
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
