Third Quarter Licensing and Litigation Review:

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. Further, the jury returned a unanimous verdict that Finjan's U.S. Patent Nos. 6,154,844 (the "'844 Patent"), 6,804,780 (the "'780 Patent"), 6,965,968 (the "'968 Patent"), and the 7,418,731 (the "'731 Patent") were literally infringed by Blue Coat, and that U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633 (the "'633 Patent") was infringed by Blue Coat under the Doctrine of Equivalents. Upon the findings of infringement, the jury also decided that Finjan was entitled to $39.5 million in damages as reasonable royalties for Blue Coat's infringement.

On July 15, 2015 Finjan also filed a second patent infringement lawsuit against Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (Blue Coat), alleging infringement of seven Finjan patents relating to new infringing Blue Coat products and services. The Complaint (5:15-cv-03295, Docket No. 1), filed July 15, 2015, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Blue Coat's new products and services infringe seven Finjan patents. In particular, Finjan is asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,154,844; 6,965,968; 7,418,731; 8,079,086; 8,225,408; 8,566,580; 8,677,494; four of which are being asserted against Blue Coat for the first time.

In Finjan, Inc. v. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (3:14-cv-04908-EMC, Docket: 56), the matter has been reassigned from Honorable Judge Edward Chen in the San Francisco division to the Honorable Judge Phyllis Hamilton, the Chief Judge in the Oakland division (4:14-cv-04908-PJH, Docket: 57). Although a trial date had not yet been set by Judge Chen, all pending dates set by Judge Chen will be reset by Judge Hamilton in accordance with her calendar.

In Finjan, Inc. v. Symantec Corp. (3:14-cv-02998, Docket: 108), the Honorable Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. presiding in the San Francisco division has stayed the case pending a decision by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on whether to institute Inter Partes Review (IPR) of Finjan's patent claims in five of eight patents asserted against Symantec. An IPR is a trial proceeding conducted at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the USPTO to review the patentability of claims in a patent. Depending on the PTAB's decision on whether or not to institute those IPRs, Judge Gilliam will determine whether to extend the stay.
