Legal Matters 18.    LEGAL MATTERS

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company is involved in the following matters described below:

 

As previously reported, the Company has launched a program focused on enforcing its intellectual property and, in particular, certain of its patent portfolio. The Company has continued to enforce its intellectual property by filing complaints against certain parties alleging infringement on the Company’s patents relating to its wireless audio technology. In the event that a monetary award or judgment is received by the Company in connection with these complaints, all or portions of such amounts will be due to third parties. The Company may incur additional fees and costs related to these lawsuits, however, timing and impact on its financial statements is uncertain. Depending on the response to and the underlying results of the enforcement program, the Company may continue to litigate its claims, enter into licensing arrangements or reach some other outcome potentially advantageous to its competitive position. During the year ended June 30, 2023, in connection with its intellectual property enforcement program, the Company granted a license covering certain of its patents and recognized gross proceeds of $33,000,000, which were recorded as other income, offset by legal fees and related expenses of approximately $22,141,000 which were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. Also, on August 4, 2023, the Company’s lawsuit against Plantronics, Inc. and Polycom, Inc. was dismissed following resolution of the litigation between the parties and had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company was notified by One-E-Way, Inc. that some of the Company's wireless products may infringe on certain One-E-Way patents. No lawsuits involving these allegations have yet been filed and served on the Company. The Company is currently investigating whether these allegations have any merit. Depending on the results of the investigation and the defense of these allegations, the ultimate resolution of this matter may have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company estimates that this matter will ultimately be resolved at a cost of approximately $41,000 and has accrued this amount as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The ultimate resolution of these matters is not determinable unless otherwise noted.

 

We also are subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving these claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
