Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 3, 2018, Finjan Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), announced that the USPTO, Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) entered a decision on appeal (Appeal 2018-007444) in favor of Finjan, and reversed Examiner’s rejection of certain challenged claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,015,182 (the “’182 Patent”) on reexamination.
Specifically, on request by an unnamed adverse third party, the USPTO ordered reexamination of Claims 8-11 and 13 of the ‘182 Patent. The Examiner rejected the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over three prior art references. Finjan appealed, among other issues, the Examiner’s rejection over the combination of three prior art references. In reversing the Examiner’s rejection, the PTAB determined that the prior art “fails to disclose all the elements of the [‘182] invention recited in independent claim 8.” (Decision on Appeal at p. 14).
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
