Finjan filed a Complaint (Case No. 3:16-cv-03731), on July 1, 2016, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and alleges that ESET’s products and services infringe six U.S. Finjan patents. In particular, Finjan is asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,154,844; 6,804,780; 7,975,305; 8,079,086; 9,189,621; and 9,219,755. In the U.S. action, Finjan is seeking, among other things, a jury trial, damages of not less than $44M, injunctive relief, enhanced damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Finjan also filed a Complaint against ESET for infringement of its European Patent No. EP 0965094, in the German District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany for ESET’s manufacture, use, and sale of accused products and services. ESET’s accused products include its Small Office Protection Products and Business protection Products, as well as ESET’s Home Protection Products.
Separately ESET, LLC filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in the US District Court for the Southern District of California (Case No. 3-16-cv-01704) seeking a declaration of non-infringement of only one Finjan patent, namely, U.S. Patent No. 7,975,305.
