Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We
may become subject to other legal proceedings, as well as demands and claims that arise in the normal course of our business, including
claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, breach of contract, employment law violations,
and other matters and matters involving requests for information from us or our customers under federal or state law. Such claims, even
if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources. We make a provision for liability
relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
These provisions are reviewed and adjusted to include the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal
counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. On December 31, 2024, we had no provision for liability
under existing litigation.
An
unfavorable outcome on any litigation matters could require payment of substantial damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property
infringement claims, could require us to pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products. As a
result, a settlement of, or an unfavorable outcome on, any of the matters referenced above or other litigation matters, or legal proceedings
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
