Legal Proceedings [Abstract]
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	Legal Proceedings Dillard's, Inc. vs. i2 Technologies, Inc. In September 2007, Dillard's, Inc. filed a lawsuit against i2 in the 191st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, (the "trial court") Cause No. 07-10924-J, which alleges that i2 committed fraud and failed to meet certain obligations to Dillard's regarding the purchase of two i2 products in the year 2000 under a software license agreement and related services agreement. Dillard's paid i2 approximately $8.1 million under these two agreements. As previously reported, on June 15, 2010, a jury in the District Court of the State of Texas, County of Dallas, returned an adverse verdict in the litigation between Dillard's, Inc. and i2. On September 30, 2010, the trial court signed a judgment awarding Dillard's $237 million, plus post-judgment interest of 5% per annum. On October 4, 2010, i2 posted a $25 million supersedeas bond. By posting the bond, under Texas law, the execution of the judgment was suspended, which means the judgment will not have to be paid during the appeals process. On December 2, 2010, we met with Dillard's for a mediation session. During that mediation session, settlement offers were exchanged, but no agreement was reached. Therefore, on December 23, 2010 i2 filed a Notice of Appeal with the Dallas Court of Appeals. The appeals process is not expected to be resolved prior to the end of 2011. It is possible that the Company may participate in additional mediation sessions in the future. There can be no assurance that the appeals or any mediation process will be successful or that the litigation will be settled on terms acceptable to JDA. The Company will accrue an estimated loss from this matter if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In evaluating the probability of an unfavorable outcome in this litigation we have considered (a) the nature of the litigation and claim, (b) the progress in the case, (c) the opinions of legal counsel and other advisors, (d) the experience of the Company and others in similar cases, (e) how management intends to respond in the event an unfavorable final judgment is returned by the trial court and (f) settlement discussions. We currently estimate the potential loss for this matter to range between $19 million (the highest settlement offer exchanged) and $237 million (representing a maximum award for lost profits, punitive damages and pre-judgment interest), plus post-judgment interest. Any revised result that may be achieved through the appeals process, which could be lengthy, could result in multiple potential outcomes within this range. Management has determined that the best estimate of the potential outcome of this matter is $19.0 million, of which $5.0 million was recorded on the opening balance sheet of i2 following JDA's acquisition of i2 in January 2010 and $14.0 million was recorded in December 2010 in the Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption "Litigation provision" and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption "Accrued expenses and other liabilities." i2 Technologies, Inc. vs. Oracle Corporation On April 29, 2009, i2 filed a lawsuit for patent infringement against Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL). The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division (No. 6:09-cv-194-LED) alleges infringement of 11 patents related to supply chain management, available to promise software and other enterprise software applications. On April 22, 2010, Oracle filed counterclaims against i2 and JDA Software Group, Inc. (of which i2 is now a wholly-owned subsidiary) alleging the infringement by i2 of four Oracle patents. In response to i2's motion to sever the Oracle counterclaim, on June 11, 2010, the trial court split the initial case into two cases, staying the second case (No. 6:10-cv-00284-LED) pending the outcome of the first case. The trial court instructed i2 to select five patents for the first case (subsequently reduced by i2 to four patents) and Oracle to select one patent for the first case. On February 25, 2011, the Company, i2 and Oracle Corporation entered into a settlement agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the parties entered into a cross-license arrangement and dismissed their respective litigation claims related to the patent infringement dispute with prejudice. In addition, the Company received a one-time cash payment of $35.0 million from Oracle Corporation, as well as a $2.5 million license and technical support credit from Oracle Corporation that must be used by the Company within two years. Sky Technologies LLC v. JDA Software Group, et al. On May 11, 2011, Sky Technologies LLC (“Sky”) filed a lawsuit for patent infringement against the Company and a number of other entities, including Microsoft, Siemens and Dassault Systemes, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 6:11-cv-10833-WGY) alleging patent infringement of a number of patents. On October 17, 2011, Sky filed an amended complaint alleging that the Company infringes U.S. Patent No. 6,141,653 (the ' 653 Patent") by making and or selling its Transportation Logistics Management (TLM) and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) modules, which Sky alleges contain elements of the claims of the '653 Patent describing and disclosing a multivariate or automated negotiations engine. Sky also alleges that the Company makes other modules that when integrated with TLM or SRM allegedly infringe claims of the '653 Patent, and purports to accuse certain products or solutions acquired from Manugistics in 2006 of infringement as well. In response to Sky's amended complaint, on October 17, 2011 the Company filed counterclaims against Sky, alleging that Sky breached the terms of a Settlement and License Agreement entered into between Sky and i2 Technologies, Inc. in 2005. This litigation is in its preliminary stages, and no estimate of its potential outcome can be made at this time. We are involved in other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance, management does not currently believe the disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
