Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
CONTINGENCIES | CONTINGENCIES In November 2018, DimOnOff Inc., a company headquartered in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada (“DimOnOff”), which sells control systems in the building automation and street lighting markets sued us and a former distributor from whom DimOnOff purchased certain of our products. The suit was brought in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec in the District of Quebec (Canada) and alleges certain Digi products it purchased and incorporated into street lighting systems in a Canadian city were defective causing some of the street lights to malfunction. It alleges damages of just over CAD 1.0 million. We intend to defend ourselves against DimOnOff’s claims. At this time we cannot assess the likelihood or amount of any potential loss. In addition to the matter discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation, which may include, but are not limited to, patent infringement and intellectual property claims. While we are unable to predict 17. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) the outcome of any potential claims or litigation due to the inherent unpredictability of these matters, we believe that it is possible that we could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our operations in any particular period.
