Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

We maintain office facilities in various locations under operating leases with expiration dates from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2022, some of which have renewal options of one to five years.  Our leased office facilities are located in Armenia, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United States, and Vietnam.  We recognized rent expense on a straight-line basis of $9.2 million, $7.9 million, and $4.7 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The aggregate minimum rental commitments in future fiscal years for non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year were as follows (in millions):

Contingencies

We have in the past, and may in the future receive notices from third parties that claim our products infringe their intellectual property rights.  We cannot be certain that our technologies and products do not and will not infringe issued patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.

Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could result in significant litigation costs and diversion of management and financial resources, including the payment of damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Indemnifications

In connection with certain agreements, we are obligated to indemnify the counterparty against third party claims alleging infringement of certain intellectual property rights by us.  We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors.  Maximum potential future payments cannot be estimated because these agreements do not have a maximum stated liability.  However, historical costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant.  We have not recorded any liability in our consolidated financial statements for such indemnification obligations.

Legal Proceedings

In October 2015, Amkor Technology, or Amkor, filed a complaint against us alleging infringement of intellectual property rights and various other claims. In November 2015, we filed an indemnification claim against the former stockholders and option holders of Validity to secure our rights under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between us and Validity. Pursuant to the Agreement, we can offset costs, damages and settlements against the contingent consideration earnout balance for certain of the claims brought by Amkor.  Accordingly, we have withheld and reserved the remaining contingent consideration earnout balance of $25.5 million and have classified the reserve balance as a current acquisition-related liability in our consolidated balance sheet. 

In September 2015, IIX Inc., or IIX, filed a complaint against us demanding payment of certain fees and costs plus interest allegedly due to IIX under a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, entered into between IIX and RSP, as well as litigation costs. In September 2015, we tendered a claim for indemnification from Renesas Electronics Corporation, or Renesas, on the basis that the IIX claim arises from a breach of Renesas’ obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement that we executed with Renesas, among others, in June 2014.  Accordingly, we have retained ¥648 million (approximately $6.2 million) of the indemnification holdback liability and have classified the reserve balance as a non-current acquisition-related liability, as final settlement of the IIX complaint is not expected to occur within the next twelve months.
