Highlights:

Flash-R ™ licensing - The Company has successfully monetized this technology since 2008 through patent enforcement actions against 109 companies and related distributors, with 77 agreeing to license terms as of June 30, 2015. Three of the Flash-R patents expired in 2014 and the remaining two patents expire in March 2016.

Nunchi ® - Nunchi technology encompasses the drawing together of data from fixed or mobile sensors and uniquely fusing it to recognize, understand and affect interactions. The Company has filed patent infringement lawsuits against companies in the connected home security market, including Dropcam, Arcsoft/Simplicam, and Oco, and continues to identify companies that may be infringing this technology. The Nunchi patent portfolio consists of seven patents, two continuations and one continuation in part. A Markman hearing was recently held in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to construe certain asserted claims related to the Dropcam case. The ruling is pending.

New patent application - During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company filed a new patent application in an exciting new area of secure communications. Code-named "Pluto", the technology enables applications to achieve the highest levels of security; protecting user communications, user data, online transactions, and physical security. Using sensor technology, it allows separate devices to independently construct large volumes of the same secure data internally, without ever having to exchange secure data between the devices. One potential application of this unique technology would allow users to fully secure communications. Central to this new technology is the mechanism to independently create common, secure data between devices.

microSignet ™ - The Company owns intellectual property in the area of on-line data protection, called microSignet. It includes one granted patent and a pending patent continuation. Unlike other security solutions, microSignet utilizes the internal physical characteristics of semiconductor memories, to establish a 'fingerprint' which uniquely identifies a given piece of hardware, such as a smart phone or desktop computer, that can be used for device authentication, or to bind valuable content to a particular device. For a more complete description and video demonstration, visit the microSignet webpage. The Company is seeking to license this technology, as well as develop the technology through others.
