Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  There is currently no litigation that management believes will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

 

In connection with the registration of GopherInside as a trademark, Intel Corporation has requested that the Company abandons the trademark in lieu of potential confusion with their trademark Intel Inside. The Company has taken the initial steps necessary to alleviate any concern Intel may have associated with mobile or computer platforms. Furthermore, the Company holds the opinion that GopherInside is by merit different from “Intel + Inside” as two separate words. Additionally, a simple online search yields 1,189 live non-Intel marks that include the word “INSIDE.”  The Company learned that Intel filed on February 2, 2016 said Notice of Opposition to the trademark application. The Company decided not to object and agreed to abandon this trademark.
