Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments As of December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding purchase orders totaling $543,000 to purchase inventory from various vendors.

Contingencies In March 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Microscan Systems, Inc. (“Microscan”) and Code Corporation ("Code") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that Microscan’s Mobile Hawk handheld imager infringes U.S. Patent 7,874,487 owned by the Company (the "'487 patent”). The lawsuit sought to prohibit Code from manufacturing the product, and Microscan from selling and distributing the product. In August 2014, Microscan filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company’s DataMan® 8500 handheld imager infringes U.S. Patent 6,352,204 owned by Microscan (the “'204 patent”). The lawsuit sought to prohibit the Company from manufacturing, selling, and distributing the DataMan® 7500, 8500, 8600, and 9500 products. In June 2015, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Microscan requiring a payment by the Company of $3,500,000 which settles all outstanding litigation between the parties. The settlement included a patent license agreement valued at $1,667,000 that allows the Company to continue producing current models of its handheld barcode readers, which was recorded as an asset and is being amortized to cost of revenue over the five year life of the patent. The remaining $1,833,000 of the settlement was recorded as expense. All cases were dismissed by the end of July 2015. In July 2015, the Company also executed an immaterial settlement agreement with Code. This matter is now closed. Various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened on behalf of or against the Company, including some pertaining to the Company’s recently divested surface inspection business, which arose prior to the transaction closing date and for which the Company retains liability pursuant to the agreement governing such divestiture. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that any liability arising from them will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
