Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases The Company leases administrative and sales offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases, which contain various renewal options and, in some cases, require payment of common area costs, taxes and utilities. These operating leases expire at various times through 2018. Rent expense was $0.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Rent expense was $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases at June 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, |  | Amount |
2013 (remaining six months) |  | $ | 605 |
2014 |  |  | 1,657 |
2015 |  |  | 1,569 |
2016 |  |  | 1,571 |
2017 |  |  | 1,294 |
Thereafter |  |  | 695 |
Total future minimum lease payments |  | $ | 7,391 |
The operating lease obligations have been reduced by future minimum sublease rental income of $0.1 million in the remaining six months of 2013. Litigation — From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated in accordance with FASB requirements. With respect to the matter below, the Company determined a potential loss was not probable at June 30, 2013 and, accordingly, no amount was accrued at such time. Philip Steven Melman filed a complaint against the Company and the Company's Chief Executive Officer on December 7, 2009 in the Superior Court for Santa Clara County. In the complaint, Mr. Melman alleged wrongful discharge based on discrimination, fraud, breach of contract and similar theories, in connection with the termination of Mr. Melman's employment with the Company. The complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages, any other available remedies, as well as attorney's fees and costs. Summary judgment in the favor of both the Company and Dr. Kibarian was entered by the court on October 27, 2011 and November 15, 2011, respectively. Mr. Melman appealed both orders in the Sixth District Court of Appeal in Santa Clara County. On March 22, 2013, the Court released its opinion affirming in full the grant of summary judgment in favor of the Company and Dr. Kibarian, which decision became final on April 22, 2013.
