Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 6, 2012, we entered into binding terms with PSI Systems, Inc. to resolve all outstanding patent litigation among the parties. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties agreed to a patent cross-licensing arrangement for the patents in dispute in (i) the lawsuit filed by Stamps.com against Endicia, Inc. and PSI Systems, Inc. on November 22, 2006 and (ii) the lawsuit filed by PSI Systems, Inc. against Stamps.com Inc. on August 8, 2008, both in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In addition, the parties agreed to a five-year period where each will not sue the other for patent infringement. No payments were made to either party as part of the settlement.
For further information about Stamps.com litigation, please refer to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
