The Company indemnifies certain customers against liability arising from third‑party claims of intellectual property rights infringement related to the Company’s trademarks.  These indemnities appear in the licensing agreements with the Company’s customers, are not limited in amount or duration and generally survive the expiration of the contracts.  The Company is unable to determine a range of estimated losses that it could incur related to such indemnities since the amount of any potential liabilities cannot be determined until an infringement claim has been made.

The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and other matters incidental to the Company’s business, the resolution of which is not presently expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.  Estimated reserves for contingent liabilities, including threatened or pending litigation, are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements when the outcome of these matters is deemed probable and the liability is reasonably estimable.
