Item 8.01 Other Events
On April 26, 2012, Augme Technologies, Inc. (“Augme”) issued a press release announcing a technology patent license and services partnership with LucidMedia Networks, Inc. (“LucidMedia”). A copy of the press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
The partnership was formed in conjunction with a litigation settlement that ended two legal actions, one pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the other in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The settlement terminated Augme’s patent infringement claim against LucidMedia, based on the alleged infringement of Augme’s United States Patent Nos. 6,594,691 and 7,269,636. Augme’s claim against LucidMedia was a part of Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-05193-CM (S.D.N.Y.) which had been transferred to the Southern District of New York from the Eastern District of Virginia on July 27, 2011. Details of the settlement are confidential. The litigation in the Southern District of New York will continue against defendants, AOL, Inc. and Gannett, Inc.
The settlement also terminated Civil Action No. 3:11-cv-00282-HEH, (E.D.Va), a severed counterclaim LucidMedia had filed against Augme in the Eastern District of Virginia on April 29, 2011 involving LucidMedia’s U.S. Patent No. 7,418,086. This case had been severed and remained pending in the Eastern District of Virginia after the transfer of Augme’s case against LucidMedia, Gannett, Inc. and AOL, Inc. had been transferred to the Southern District of New York.
