On October 31, 2011, ChriMar Systems, Inc. dba CMS Technologies and ChriMar Holding Company, LLC filed suit against Company in United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Number 7,457,250, and seeks: a) a judgment that the Company infringes the patent; (b) a permanent injunction from infringement; (c) damages; (d) attorneys' fees, costs and interest; and (e) equitable relief at the Court's discretion. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously, but, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the matter at this time.
On November 1, 2011, ChriMar Systems, Inc. dba CMS Technologies, filed a request with the International Trade Commission for investigation pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. Section 1337, In the Matter of Certain Communications Equipment, Components Thereof, and Products Containing the Same, Including Power Over Ethernet Telephones, Switches, Wireless Access Points, Routers, and Other Devices Used in WLANS, and Cameras. ChriMar alleges that the Company imports into the United States, sells for importation, and/or sells within the United States after importation products and/or systems infringing one or more of the claims of U.S. Patent Number 7,457,250. The action seeks a permanent exclusion order excluding from entry into the United States all infringing articles that are manufactured, imported, or sold by Company that infringe at least one claim of the patent. The Company intends to defend the charges vigorously, but, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the matter at this time.
With respect to the Company's suit against Enterasys Networks (Civil Action No. 07-C-0229-C), on November 4, 2011, a jury determined that the Company had not infringed the Enterasys '181 patent for any of the accused products in the lawsuit. All post trial motions are due within 28 days after the Court enters final judgment, and due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the matter at this time.
