Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 12 - Contingencies Legal Proceedings On or about December 19, 2018, Steven De Jaray, Perienne De Jaray and Darrell Oswald (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) commenced an action against the Company in the Multnomah County Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, in connection with the sale of certain products by the Company to the Plaintiffs in or around 2008. The Plaintiffs alleged the Company violated the Lanham Act, engaged in negligence, fraud, and breach of contract by failing to disclose to the Plaintiffs the export-controlled status of the subject parts. In January 2019, we removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Oregon (the “Court”). On May 24, 2023, the Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which added Apex-Micro Manufacturing Corporation (“Apex-Micro”) as a plaintiff and removed the violation of the Lanham Act claim. The Plaintiffs sought damages of $180 million, punitive damages, and other remedies. On January 18, 2024, the court dismissed the claims against the Company by Ms. De Jaray and Mr. Oswald. The trial for the remaining claims was held from January 30, 2024 to February 15, 2024. On February 13, 2024, the Court granted the Company’s Rule 50 motion in part and entered judgment in the Company’s favor as to all of Mr. De Jaray’s claims and Apex-Micro’s negligence claims. On February 15, 2024, the jury found that the Company was not liable for all outstanding claims and judgment was entered in favor of the Company. On March 15, 2024, Mr. De Jaray and Apex-Micro filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On March 18, 2024, Ms. De Jaray filed a separate Notice of Appeal . The plaintiffs’ appeal opening brief is currently due June 10, 2024. The Company will file an appeal answering brief. From time to time, we are exposed to certain additional asserted and unasserted potential claims. We review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible losses can be estimated, we then accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.
