LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES	13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES: From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in lawsuits, or customers and distributors may make claims against the Company. In accordance with ASC 450-10, Contingencies, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. On December 18, 2019, CogniPower LLC (“CogniPower”) filed a complaint against a customer of the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of two patents; the Company thereafter intervened and sought a declaration of non-infringement with respect to use of the Company’s products. The case was then stayed until February 26, 2024, when the Delaware Court then set a schedule for the remainder of the case, with further proceedings in the coming months, and a trial scheduled in August 2025. On January 16, 2025, CogniPower filed a follow-on complaint against the same customer asserting the same two patents in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, but no schedule has been set for the follow-on case at this time. The Company believes it has strong claims and defenses with respect to all of CogniPower’s asserted patents and intends to vigorously defend itself against CogniPower’s claims against the Company’s technology, with appeals to follow if necessary. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of legal proceedings with certainty, and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the above-mentioned unsettled litigations. These litigations, whether or not determined in the Company’s favor or settled, will be costly and will divert the efforts and attention of the Company’s management and technical personnel from normal business operations, potentially causing a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results. Currently, the Company is not able to estimate a loss or a range of loss for the ongoing litigations disclosed above, however adverse determinations in litigation could result in monetary losses, the loss of proprietary rights, subject the Company to significant liabilities, require the Company to seek licenses from third parties or prevent the Company from licensing the technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
