Second Quarter Licensing and Litigation Review:
On April 7, 2015, Finjan entered into a Patent License Agreement with F-Secure Corporation, a company incorporated in Finland. The agreement calls for F-Secure to pay Finjan $1,000,000 in cash, of which $700,000 was paid on April 22, 2015 and the remainder is due on and before March 31, 2016. Additionally, F-Secure will assign Finjan two patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,474,048 and 7,769,991. In exchange, Finjan agreed to, subject to certain restrictions, limits and other conditions, grant F-Secure a worldwide, fully-paid, nonexclusive field of use license to Finjan patents within two years of the effective date.

On August 4, 2015, the jury in Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Systems Inc. (5:13-cv-03999-BLF) returned a unanimous verdict that each of the Finjan asserted patents are valid and enforceable.
