"Flash-R™ patent portfolio licensing outside of our litigation activities enabled us to report a third consecutive profitable quarter," said Fred Falk, president and CEO of e.Digital Corporation. "Even though our '774 and '737 patents are in reexamination, we are pleased that we were able to continue to license the portfolio. While the timing and amount of any future licenses may be impacted positively or negatively by the patent reexamination and other factors, we remain optimistic about future revenue potential of our Flash-R portfolio."
"Regarding the '774 and '737 reexamination process, we have conducted patent examiner interviews and submitted office action responses to the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). We expect the reexamination process to conclude within approximately three months."
"We are continuing to develop our Nunchi™ technology. The patent-pending Nunchi platform consists of an infrastructure for mobile devices and host servers, hosting third-party application specific signal processing algorithms. These algorithms analyze data collected by multiple sensors on mobile devices. The Consumer Electronics Show last month allowed us to privately expose Nunchi to potential partners as part of our marketing efforts to exploit this new technology."
