SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS

 

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

VendingData Corporation, or VendingData, announces certain developments in the pending legal proceeding filed in March 27, 2002,  by Shuffle Master, Inc., or Shuffle Master, (Case No. CV-S-02-0438-JCM-PAL) against VendingData in the United States District Court, District of Nevada.  The amended complaint alleges, among other things, claims for patent infringement and requests treble damages, an injunction enjoining us from infringing on two of Shuffle Master’s patents (United States Patent Nos. 6,325,373 and 6,068,258), an accounting of our gains and profits that resulted from the alleged infringement, and for interest, costs and attorneys’ fees.  The Shuffle Master patents that are at issue in the litigation concern registering use of a playing card shuffler apparatus and the displaying of the use on a display.  VendingData denied Shuffle Master’s allegation of patent infringement.    VendingData asserted counterclaims against Shuffle Master for breach of contract and violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.  The trial had been set for June 5, 2005.

 

In a June 2, 2005 hearing, the Court:

 

•      Granted VendingData’s motion to reset the trial date for July 25, 2005;

 

•      Ruled that VendingData may proceed to introduce evidence at trial regarding the monetary damages VendingData incurred, including possible disgorgement of all Shuffle Master profits, that arise from Shuffle Master’s alleged misappropriation of VendingData’s confidential information; and

 

•      Denied requests of both VendingData and Shuffle Master to preclude certain expert witnesses from testifying at trial.
