Q. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
As of June 28, 2020, Teradyne had entered into purchase commitments for certain components and materials. The purchase commitments covered by the agreements aggregate to approximately $544.2 million, of which $534.3 million is for less than one year.
Legal Claims
Teradyne is subject to various legal proceedings and
claims
which have arisen in the ordinary course of business such as, but not limited to, patent, employment, commercial and environmental matters. Teradyne believes that it has meritorious defenses against all pending claims and intends to vigorously contest them. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcomes of any pending claims or to provide possible ranges of losses that may arise, Teradyne believes the potential losses associated with all of these actions are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
