brief was filed with the BPAI. On October 1, 2012, the USPTO filed its answer to j2 Global's appeal, which was a mere endorsement of the August 16, 2012 office action. On
November 19, 2012, j2 Global filed a Request for Oral Hearing in the appeal of the
inter-partes reexamination of the '823 Patent in front of the BPAI.
j2 Global does not believe, based on current knowledge, that the foregoing legal proceedings or claims, including those where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably
possible, after giving effect to existing reserves, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
However, depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect j2 Global's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows in a particular period. The Company has not accrued for a loss contingency relating to certain of these legal proceedings because unfavorable
outcomes are not considered by management to be probable or the amount of any losses reasonably estimable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
