“2018 marked the closing of a important chapter in Finjan’s history by completing a number of legacy licenses and settlements stemming from disputes that began well prior to becoming a public company.” said Phil Hartstein, President and CEO of Finjan Holdings. “While the second half may have been quiet on the closing of further settlements, we remained actively engaged with prospective licensees while maintaining our expectation for fair value and vigorously defending our pioneering patents. While some expected licenses did not occur at the close of 2018, we are not concerned and maintain that our long term business model thesis remains intact.”
“2019 has begun with positive momentum with a number of positive Claim Construction orders as several Northern District Judges recognized that Finjan has time and time again proven the value of its patents. While we are aware of the time element needed to move these court procedures forward we see a number of upcoming catalysts. We have a proven pioneering patent portfolio, a number of paths to achieve growth, and the right team in place to execute. Concurrently, we remain focused on our rebranded InvinciBullTM VPN with the launch of our promotion engine and the continued exploration of strategic options for the future of Finjan to drive shareholder value.”
