o
$2.7 million of the net loss for the first quarter of 2020 is comprised of litigation fees and expenses primarily due to the cost of expert reports and fact discovery activities in the Jacksonville, Florida patent infringement case against Qualcomm and Apple, representing an increase of approximately $1.6 million over litigation fees and expenses for the same period in 2019.

Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We believe that our new patent enforcement program with Goldberg Segalla, who represents us in the recently filed cases against Intel in Texas and TCL in California, is important to broaden our licensing potential to additional companies and markets that are benefiting from products in which our technologies are deployed. I also believe the ability to better focus our resources on the Orlando case against Qualcomm and HTC, in light of the recent stay in the Jacksonville case, is a positive for the Company. The Orlando case includes all of the Qualcomm products accused in the Jacksonville case plus numerous additional products, and the case covers ten years of infringement which is seven years longer than the infringement period in the Jacksonville case.”
