As previously disclosed, on July 12, 2010, Finjan, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Websense, Inc. (the “Company”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that the Company’s Websense Web Filter, Websense Web Security and Websense Web Security Gateway products infringed Finjan’s U.S. Patent No. 6,092,194 (“194 Patent”). Finjan subsequently withdrew its contention that Websense Web Filter and Websense Web Security infringed the 194 Patent, but accused additional products of infringing the 194 Patent in response to discovery and in expert reports, namely TRITON Enterprise, TRITON Security Gateway Anywhere, Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere, Websense Hosted Web Security Gateway and the Websense V-Series appliances. Finjan sought an injunction from further infringement of the 194 Patent and damages.
The jury trial commenced on November 30, 2012 and a verdict was returned on December 20, 2012. The jury delivered a verdict in favor of the Company, finding that none of the accused products sold by the Company infringe the 194 Patent and that the 194 Patent is invalid.
