The complaint alleges that Vistaprint Limited and OfficeMax Incorporated are infringing U.S. patent 6,839,149, relating generally to systems and methods for processing electronic files stored in a page description language format, such as PDF. The plaintiff is seeking a declaration that the patent at issue is valid and enforceable, a declaration that Vistaprint Limited infringes, the entry of a preliminary and permanent injunction, and damages. The Company is unable to express an opinion as to its likely outcome and cannot reasonably estimate a potential range of loss. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     On June 26, 2009, the Company and sixteen other companies were named as defendants in a complaint for patent infringement by Soverain Software LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In October 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Soverain, under which Soverain agreed to dismiss its lawsuit. The settlement was accounted for as a recognized subsequent event for purposes of our financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and was paid during the three months ended December 31, 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company is not currently party to any other material legal proceedings. The Company is involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the results of litigation and claims, it does not expect resolution of these matters to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. Legal proceedings previously disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings may not be presented in its Form 10-Q, to the extent such matters are no longer believed to be material or have not had significant activity during the period. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. </div>   </div>   <!-- Begin Block Tagged NotefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringIncludes disclosure of commitments and contingencies.
