Table of Contents
The Company has been engaged in litigation matters involving allegations of patent infringement and claims of ownership related to its digital
imaging patents filed in certain federal and state courts and before the International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The parties to these matters
include Research in Motion Ltd., Research in Motion Corp., Apple Inc., FlashPoint Technology Inc., HTC Corp., HTC America Inc. , Exedea,
Inc., FUJIFILM Corporation and Shutterfly, Inc. On February 1, 2013, the Company completed a transaction to sell and license its digital
imaging patents for net proceeds of approximately $530 million, a portion of which was paid by 12 intellectual property licensees, including
Apple Inc., Research in Motion Limited, HTC Investment One (BVI) Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., FUJIFILM Corporation and
Shutterfly, Inc. The transaction included agreements between the Company and various litigants to settle current patent-
related litigation between
them. As a result of the agreements, the parties moved to dismiss each of the litigation matters described below:
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, customs,
employment, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. The
Company is also subject to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including
patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of the Company’s products. These matters are in
various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended. Much of the pending litigation against the Debtors has been
stayed as a result of the chapter 11 filing and will be subject to resolution in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the
Bankruptcy Court. Based on information presently available, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that losses for known
exposures could exceed current accruals by material amounts, although costs could be material to a particular quarter or year.
