On January 22, 2014, Straight Path IP Group, Inc. (“SPIPG”), a subsidiary of Straight Path Communications Inc., jointly filed a motion in the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) to terminate the investigation with respect to respondents Sharp Corporation and Sharp Electronics Corporation (collectively, “Sharp”) in the matter of Certain Point-to-Point Network Communication Devices and Products Containing Same (the “Investigation”). As previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K, SPIPG had initiated the Investigation on August 1, 2013 against Sharp and numerous other entities alleging that the respondents infringed three of its key patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,108,704, 6,009,469, and 6,131,121).
SPIPG and Sharp have entered into a confidential settlement and patent license agreement.
