Item
8.01. Other Events.
On September 24, 2009, in our
litigation against Kara Technology, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit vacated-in-part and reversed-in-part
our final judgment
entered on September 10, 2008.
In particular, the Court vacated the
jury verdict that NetStamps does not infringe and reversed the grant of
summary judgment on the breach of contract claim. Each are
remanded for further proceedings. Our grants of summary judgment that
PhotoStamps does not infringe and on the trade secret claim remain in
effect. We continue to dispute the remaining claims and intend to
defend the lawsuit vigorously.
For
further information about Stamps.com litigation, please refer to our quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009.
