Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time, in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the normal course of business.  The Company reviews all claims and accrues a liability for those matters where it believes that the likelihood that a loss will occur is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable.
On June 10, 2013, the Company was served with a complaint filed by UbiComm LLC in U.S. District Court, for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Number 5,603,054 ("Patent '054"). On September 3, 2013, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on November 15, 2013. On the same day, Ubicomm appealed the dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Appeals Court"). Subsequently, the parties agreed to stay the matter pending the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Alice Corp v. CLS Bank which related to Patent '054. Following the Supreme Court's CLS Bank decision on June 19, 2014, Ubicomm decided to withdraw the appeal. The parties entered into a Joint Motion to Dismiss the appeal on July 23, 2014, and the Appeals Court granted the motion to dismiss on July 31, 2014.
