As of September 30, 2016, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of Purchased IP and capitalized litigation costs of $4,055, which was reflected in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of an unfavorable ruling in relation to the litigation. See Note 12 “Commitment and contingencies” for additional information regarding the litigation involving the Purchased IP.
