Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases See Note 8, "Leases" for future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2023. Purchase Obligations We subcontract with third parties to manufacture our products and supply key components. As of September 30, 2023, we had $1,081.4 million of purchase commitments with these third parties. If we cancel all or part of the orders, we may still be liable to the contract manufacturers for the cost of the components purchased by the subcontractors to manufacture our products. There have been no significant liabilities for current or anticipated cancellations recorded as of September 30, 2023. Our consolidated financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate these third parties. In addition, we may be subject to additional purchase obligations to our contract manufacturers for supply agreements and components ordered by them based on manufacturing forecasts we provide them each month. Transition Tax We have obligations of $50.6 million as of September 30, 2023, related to the mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Payment of these obligations are expected to be $22.5 million for fiscal 2025 and $28.1 million for fiscal 2026. These obligations are included within Income tax payable and Long-term taxes payable on our consolidated balance sheets. Other Obligations As of September 30, 2023, the Company has other obligations of $5.4 million which consisted primarily of commitments related to research and development projects. Indemnification Obligations The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with many of its business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the business partner against any claim brought by a third-party to the extent any such claim alleges that a Company product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or violates any other proprietary rights of that third-party. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable and the Company has not incurred any material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements to date. Legal Matters The Company may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters and other litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. The Company develops its views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Taking all of the above factors into account, the Company records an amount where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and where that loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the Company’s estimates may be incorrect and the Company could ultimately incur more or less than the amounts initially recorded. The Company may also incur significant legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these claims. The Company is not currently aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Vivato/XR On April 19, 2017, XR Communications, LLC, d/b/a Vivato Technologies (“Vivato”), filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that at least one of the Company’s products infringes United States Patent Numbers 7,062,296 (the “'296 Patent”), 7,729,728 (the “'728 Patent”), and 6,611,231 (the “'231 Patent” and, collectively, the “Patents-in-Suit”) (the “Original Action”). On April 11, 2018, the Court stayed the Original Action pending completion of certain inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTO”). The PTO invalidated asserted claims of two of the three Patents-in-Suit. On June 16, 2021, Vivato filed a new suit against the Company in the Central District of California, alleging that various Company products infringe some of the non-invalidated claims of the ’728 Patent and U.S. Patent No. 10,594,376 (the “New Action”). On November 24, 2021, the Company and the remaining defendants in the Original Action filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings regarding the '231 Patent. On January 4, 2022, the Court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed Vivato’s claims based on the '231 Patent. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the invalidity of the '231 Patent on May 18, 2023. That ruling is now on appeal. All claims asserted against the Company in the Original Action have been dismissed. On July 28, 2022, Vivato voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice, its remaining claims related to the '728 patent, as well as claims 22-31 of the '376 Patent. On October 20, 2022, an IPR was instituted with respect to the asserted claims of the '376 Patent. On October 26, 2022, the court stayed the case pending completion of the IPR. On October 3, 2023, the IPR with respect to the '376 Patent was terminated after the petitioners entered into a settlement agreement with Vivato. The district court action presently remains stayed. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against these claims; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit. The Company cannot currently estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, that it may experience in connection with this litigation. Network-1 Technologies, Inc. On October 5, 2022, Network-1 Technologies, Inc.
