Note 14. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, benefits, personal injuries and other matters. The results of these proceedings in the ordinary course of business are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On or about January 22, 2020, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company, along with several publishers, another collegiate bookstore retailer, and an industry association by Campus Book Company, Inc., BJJ Corporation, CBSKY, Inc., CBSNM, Inc., and Renttext.com, Inc.  The plaintiffs claim, on their own behalf and on behalf of the purported class, that the Company and the other defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 1), Section 2 of the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 2), Section 13(a) of the Robinson-Patman Act (15 U.S.C. §13(a)), and various state antitrust and unfair trade practices laws for alleged activities in connection with inclusive access and the sale of course materials to universities and their students. We intend to vigorously defend this matter and are currently unable to estimate any potential losses.
