e.Digital Reports Third Quarter Results

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - February 12, 2015) - e.Digital Corporation (OTCQB: EDIG), a long standing source of innovation and future-defining patented technologies, today announced results for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, ended December 31, 2014.

Recent Highlights:

  • Flash-R Technology Enforcement and Licensing Progress - During the third fiscal quarter the Company entered into multiple Flash-R licensing agreements. To date, 69 companies have licensed the Company's Flash-R patent portfolio. Ten Flash-R license enforcement legal actions are currently pending. The Company believes responsible manufacturers and suppliers of flash memory storage devices license its portfolio in recognition of its proven intellectual property rights.

    In November 2014, the Company's appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals regarding application of the doctrine of collateral estoppel to U.S. Patent No. 5,839,108 ("the '108 patent") was successful. In December 2014, the U.S. District court for the Southern District of California also ruled favorably regarding the Company's claim construction of its '108 patent. The Company continues to defend its rights under its Flash-R patent portfolio with cases pending against notable companies including SanDisk, GoPro, Micron, and Lenovo.
  • Nunchi® Technology Enforcement - The Company's Nunchi® portfolio consists of six U.S. patents and four pending continuation applications. Continuing efforts to license this unique and ground breaking technology, the Company has filed infringement lawsuits against Dropcam, Inc. and Arcsoft, Inc. dba simplicam over their systems for using various devices to communicate with and monitor remote locations. The Company has identified other potential infringers in the "connected" home security space and other areas of the industry and is evaluating enforcement options.
  • microSignet Technology - The Company is pursuing development of applications for its microSignet™ technology, which involves creating a heightened layer of security for electronic devices. The Company believes significant opportunities exist in the rapidly developing and changing data security market. The Company is seeking licensing arrangements or other partnerships with semiconductor companies and established online security providers to monetize microSignet™.
  • Other New Technologies - The Company's intellectual properties and engineering teams are developing and patenting other technologies to enhance privacy in communications and data exchange between users of connected communication devices over public networks.
