Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Digimarc Corporation (“Digimarc” or the “Company”), an Oregon corporation, enables governments, banks, retailers, consumer brands and other businesses around the world to automatically and reliably identify and interact with virtually any form of media. The Company has pioneered the Digimarc Intuitive Computing Platform (ICP), a comprehensive set of technologies for identifying, discovering and interacting with digitally-enhanced media. The platform includes Digimarc Barcode, a proprietary method for imperceptibly enhancing packaging, print, images, thermal labels, audio and other objects with data that are detected by enabled devices, such as smart phones, computers, barcode scanners and machine-vision equipment. Digimarc Discover software enables an ecosystem of connected devices to easily identify content or materials and deliver information. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digimarc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the results of operations or financial position for any period presented. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds totaling $25,543 and $39,761 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash equivalents are carried at either cost or amortized cost depending on the type of security, which approximates fair value. Marketable Securities The Company considers all investments with original maturities over 90 days that mature in less than one-year from the balance sheet date to be short-term marketable securities. Short-term marketable securities primarily include commercial paper and corporate notes. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity and are reported at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A decline in the market value of any security below amortized cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments identified or recorded by the Company. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Under this method, dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures • Level 1—Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. • Level 2—Pricing inputs are quoted for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments. • Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s fair value hierarchy for its cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows: December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market securities $ 1,472 $ — $ — $ 1,472 Commercial paper — 28,343 — 28,343 Corporate notes — 12,106 — 12,106 Total $ 1,472 $ 40,449 $ — $ 41,921 December 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market securities $ 2,197 $ — $ — $ 2,197 Commercial paper — 49,834 — 49,834 Federal agency notes — 10,715 — 10,715 U.S. treasuries — 1,996 — 1,996 Corporate notes — 1,934 — 1,934 Total $ 2,197 $ 64,479 $ — $ 66,676 The fair value maturities of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 are as follows: Maturities by Period Total Less 1 year 1-5 years 5 - 10 years More than 10 years Cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 41,921 $ 41,921 $ — $ — $ — Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk A significant portion of the Company’s business depends on a limited number of large contracts. The loss of any large contract may result in loss of revenue and margin on a prospective basis. Financial instruments that potentially subject Digimarc to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. Digimarc places its cash and cash equivalents with major banks and financial institutions and at times deposits may exceed insured limits. Other than cash used for operating needs, which may include short-term marketable securities with the Company’s principal banks, Digimarc’s investment policy limits its credit exposure to any one financial institution or type of financial instrument by limiting the maximum of 5% of its cash equivalents and marketable securities or $1,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one issuer except for the U.S. government, U.S. federal agencies and U.S. backed securities, which have no limits, at the time of purchase. The Company’s investment policy also limits its credit exposure by limiting the maximum of 40% of its cash equivalents and marketable securities, or $15,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one industry category, (e.g., financial or energy industries), at the time of purchase. As a result, Digimarc’s credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is believed to be minimal. Contingencies The Company evaluates all pending or threatened contingencies or commitments, if any, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position. The Company assesses the probability of an adverse outcome and determines if it is remote, reasonably possible or probable as defined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450 “ Contingencies Equity Method Investments The Company accounts for its joint ventures under the equity method of accounting pursuant to ASC 323 “ Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures a b c Goodwill The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “ Business Combinations Contingent consideration, if any, is recorded at the acquisition date based upon the estimated fair value of the contingent payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured each reporting period with any adjustments in fair value being recognized in earnings from operations. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in June and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit using a market approach, which takes into account the Company’s market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. In connection with the Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, it was concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill as the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 “ Property, Plant and Equipment Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their remaining useful life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment would be recognized in operating results at the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730 “ Research and Development Software Development Costs Under ASC 985 “ Software Patent Costs Costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. Capitalized patent costs, also referred to as patent prosecution costs, include internal legal labor, professional legal fees, government filing fees and translation fees related to expanding the Company’s patent portfolio. Costs associated with the maintenance and annuity fees of patents are accounted for as prepaid assets at the time of payment and amortized over the shorter of the maintenance period or remaining life of the related patent. Revenue Recognition See Note 2 for detailed disclosures of the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “ Compensation—Stock Compensation For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of valuation. The Company’s determination of the fair value on the date of grant (measurement date) is affected by its stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected life of the award, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. Although the fair value of stock-based awards is determined in accordance with ASC 718 and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 “ Shared-Based Payment ” The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date), and is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “ Income Taxes The Company records valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the assets will not be realized. The Company is subject to income taxes within the U.S. and other countries, and, in the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company reports a liability (or contra asset) for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) on a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to the unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | (2) Revenue Recognition The Company adopted ASC 606 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” Revenue Recognition Software. ASC 606 Effective January 1, 2018, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company derives its revenue primarily from professional services, subscriptions and licensing of its intellectual property. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each performance obligation as follows: • Service revenue consists primarily of software development and consulting services. The majority of service revenue arrangements are structured as time and materials consulting agreements. Revenue for development and consulting services is recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided. • Subscription revenue includes revenue derived from the sale of Digimarc Discover, Digimarc Barcode and Digimarc Guardian products and services, is generally recurring, paid in advance and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is generally one to three years. • License revenue originates primarily from licensing the Company’s intellectual property where the Company receives license fees and/or royalties as its income stream. License fees are typically paid in advance and recognized when the customer has the right to the intellectual property and the license period has begun, and royalties are typically billed in arrears and recognized in the quarter in which the royalty was earned. Some customer arrangements contain multiple performance obligations such as professional services, software licenses, and maintenance and support fees. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct. To determine the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract and the Company’s customary business practices. Some contracts may contain variable consideration. In those cases, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration based on the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. As part of this assessment, the Company will evaluate whether any of the variable consideration is constrained and if it is the Company will not include it in the transaction price. The consideration is allocated between distinct products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the standalone selling price based on reasonably available information, including market conditions, specific factors affecting the Company, and information about the customer. For distinct products and services, the Company typically recognizes the revenue associated with these performance obligations as they are delivered to the customer. For performance obligations which are not considered distinct, the Company typically recognizes revenue over the term of the contract as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the goods and services as the Company performs them. ASC 605 and ASC 985 For the comparative period prior to January 1, 2018, revenue was recognized under ASC 605 and ASC 985 when the following four criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is reasonably assured or probable. All revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major product line in the Company’s single reporting segment: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 Service $ 12,774 $ 12,936 Subscription Digimarc Guardian 3,660 4,165 Digimarc Discover and Digimarc Barcode 2,381 1,354 License 2,377 6,758 Total $ 21,192 $ 25,213 The Company has contract assets from contracts with customers that are classified as “trade accounts receivable.” Financial information about trade accounts receivable is included in Note 6. The Company has contract liabilities from contracts with customers that are classified as “deferred revenue.” Deferred revenue consists of billings in advance for professional services, subscriptions and licenses for which the performance obligation has not been satisfied. The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers: December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 Deferred revenue, current $ 3,226 $ 3,124 Deferred revenue, long term 46 42 Total $ 3,272 $ 3,166 As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price from contractual obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $17,496. The Company expects $15,976 of this amount to be recognized as revenue during 2019. |

The Company amortizes the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. Expected Life. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms and vesting schedules of the awards. Stock options granted generally vest over three years and have contractual terms of ten years. Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock based on historical prices over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the award. Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate using current U.S. treasury yields for bonds with a maturity commensurate with the expected life of the award. Expected Dividend Yield. The expected dividend yield is derived by the Company’s expected annual dividend rate over the expected term divided by the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. Stock Option Valuation Assumptions: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 Expected life (years) 4.50 4.50 Expected volatility 57.11 % 57.24 % Risk-free interest rate 2.77 % 1.77 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Restricted Stock The fair value of restricted stock awarded is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date), and is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. Restricted stock awards granted generally vest over three to four years for employee grants and one to three years for director grants.

The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of undesignated preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company without further action by shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. The Board of Directors authorized 10 shares of Series A Redeemable Nonvoting Preferred stock (“Series A Preferred”) that were issued to certain executive officers at the time of formation. The Series A Preferred has no voting rights, except as required by law, and may be redeemed at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. The Series A Preferred is redeemable based on the stated fair value of $5.00 per share. The Series A Preferred has no dividend rights and no rights to the undistributed earnings of the Company. Common Stock In June 2008, the Board of Directors authorized 50,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The holders of Digimarc common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of its shareholders, including the election of directors. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such purpose, as well as any distributions to the Company’s shareholders. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of the Company’s assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock.

The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock. In addition, up to 770 shares of common stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2008 Plan became available for issuance under 2018 Plan to the extent that those shares cease to be subject to the awards (as a result of, for example, expiration, cancellation or forfeiture of the award). The shares authorized under the 2018 Plan are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event. Shares issued under the 2018 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares or shares held by the Company as treasury shares. If an award granted under the 2018 Plan lapses, expires, terminates or is forfeited or surrendered without having been fully exercised or without the issuance of all the shares subject to the award, the shares covered by that award will again be available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Shares that are (i) tendered by a participant or retained by the Company as payment for the purchase price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations or (ii) covered by an award that is settled in cash, or in some manner that some or all of the shares covered by the award are not issued, will again be available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

Joint Venture and Related Party Transactions | (11) Joint Venture and Related Party Transactions In June 2009, the Company entered into two joint venture agreements with The Nielsen Company (“Nielsen”) to launch two new companies: TVaura LLC (in which Digimarc holds a 51% ownership interest) and TVaura Mobile LLC (in which Digimarc holds a 49% ownership interest). The two joint venture agreements and a revised patent license agreement expanded and replaced the previous license and services agreement between the Company and Nielsen that had been in operation since late 2007. Under the joint venture agreements, the Company and Nielsen agreed to work together to develop new products and services, including the expansion and deployment of those products and services that were in development under the prior agreement. Under the terms of the revised patent license agreement, Nielsen agreed to pay Digimarc $18,750 during the period from July 2009 through January 2014, and Digimarc granted to Nielsen a non-exclusive license to Digimarc’s patents for use within Nielsen’s business. The term of the license continues until the expiration of the last patent under the license. In March 2012, Digimarc and Nielsen reduced the investments in their two joint ventures to minimal levels while assessing alternative approaches to achieving each of their goals in the emerging market opportunity of synchronized second screen television. In October 2015, Digimarc and Nielsen reactivated the TVaura Mobile LLC joint venture to develop solutions for programmers and advertisers to engage with consumers on second screens and otherwise provide enhanced flexibility to brand strategies targeting modern consumers. Neither Digimarc nor Nielsen has contributed any capital to the joint venture since reactivation. Digimarc and Nielsen continue to assess the market opportunities of the TVaura LLC joint venture.

Income Taxes | (12) Income Taxes The benefit (provision) for income taxes reflects current taxes, deferred taxes, and withholding taxes. The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 0% and 1%, respectively. The Company continues to provide for a full valuation allowance to offset its net deferred tax assets until such time it is more likely than not the tax assets or portions thereof will be realized. The U.S. enacted tax reform legislation on December 22, 2017 commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (“the Act”), resulting in significant modifications to existing U.S. tax law. Accounting for the income tax effects of the Act has been completed and included in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2017. As a result of the Act, the Company has recorded a one-time tax provision and corresponding reduction to valuation allowance of $10,529, which consisted primarily of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities from a tax rate of 35% to a tax rate of 21%. The future impact of the Act is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial results and cash flows in the foreseeable future because the Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. Components of tax benefit (provision) allocated to continuing operations include the following: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 Current: Federal $ — $ (8 ) State (28 ) (30 ) Foreign (11 ) (9 ) Sub-total $ (39 ) $ (47 ) Deferred: Federal $ — $ 253 State — — Foreign — — Sub-total $ — $ 253 Total tax benefit (provision) $ (39 ) $ 206 The reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2018 % 2017 % Income taxes computed at statutory rates $ 6,818 (21 )% $ 8,834 (34 )% (Increases) decreases resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 2,054 (6 )% 1,576 (6 )% Federal and state research and experimentation credits 1,064 (4 )% 1,081 (4 )% Change in valuation allowance (10,024 ) 31 % (1,216 ) 5 % Impact of expired tax positions 1 — % (7 ) — % Impact of recent U.S. tax reform — — % (10,529 ) 40 % Other 48 — % 467 (2 )% Total $ (39 ) — % $ 206 (1 )% Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business Digimarc Corporation (“Digimarc” or the “Company”), an Oregon corporation, enables governments, banks, retailers, consumer brands and other businesses around the world to automatically and reliably identify and interact with virtually any form of media. The Company has pioneered the Digimarc Intuitive Computing Platform (ICP), a comprehensive set of technologies for identifying, discovering and interacting with digitally-enhanced media. The platform includes Digimarc Barcode, a proprietary method for imperceptibly enhancing packaging, print, images, thermal labels, audio and other objects with data that are detected by enabled devices, such as smart phones, computers, barcode scanners and machine-vision equipment. Digimarc Discover software enables an ecosystem of connected devices to easily identify content or materials and deliver information. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digimarc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the results of operations or financial position for any period presented. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid marketable securities with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds totaling $25,543 and $39,761 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash equivalents are carried at either cost or amortized cost depending on the type of security, which approximates fair value. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities The Company considers all investments with original maturities over 90 days that mature in less than one-year from the balance sheet date to be short-term marketable securities. Short-term marketable securities primarily include commercial paper and corporate notes. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity and are reported at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A decline in the market value of any security below amortized cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments identified or recorded by the Company. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Under this method, dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures • Level 1—Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. • Level 2—Pricing inputs are quoted for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments. • Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s fair value hierarchy for its cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was as follows: December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market securities $ 1,472 $ — $ — $ 1,472 Commercial paper — 28,343 — 28,343 Corporate notes — 12,106 — 12,106 Total $ 1,472 $ 40,449 $ — $ 41,921 December 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market securities $ 2,197 $ — $ — $ 2,197 Commercial paper — 49,834 — 49,834 Federal agency notes — 10,715 — 10,715 U.S. treasuries — 1,996 — 1,996 Corporate notes — 1,934 — 1,934 Total $ 2,197 $ 64,479 $ — $ 66,676 The fair value maturities of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 are as follows: Maturities by Period Total Less 1 year 1-5 years 5 - 10 years More than 10 years Cash equivalents and marketable securities $ 41,921 $ 41,921 $ — $ — $ — |
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk | Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk A significant portion of the Company’s business depends on a limited number of large contracts. The loss of any large contract may result in loss of revenue and margin on a prospective basis. Financial instruments that potentially subject Digimarc to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. Digimarc places its cash and cash equivalents with major banks and financial institutions and at times deposits may exceed insured limits. Other than cash used for operating needs, which may include short-term marketable securities with the Company’s principal banks, Digimarc’s investment policy limits its credit exposure to any one financial institution or type of financial instrument by limiting the maximum of 5% of its cash equivalents and marketable securities or $1,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one issuer except for the U.S. government, U.S. federal agencies and U.S. backed securities, which have no limits, at the time of purchase. The Company’s investment policy also limits its credit exposure by limiting the maximum of 40% of its cash equivalents and marketable securities, or $15,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one industry category, (e.g., financial or energy industries), at the time of purchase. As a result, Digimarc’s credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is believed to be minimal. |
Contingencies | Contingencies The Company evaluates all pending or threatened contingencies or commitments, if any, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position. The Company assesses the probability of an adverse outcome and determines if it is remote, reasonably possible or probable as defined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450 “ Contingencies |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments The Company accounts for its joint ventures under the equity method of accounting pursuant to ASC 323 “ Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures a b c |
Goodwill | Goodwill The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “ Business Combinations Contingent consideration, if any, is recorded at the acquisition date based upon the estimated fair value of the contingent payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured each reporting period with any adjustments in fair value being recognized in earnings from operations. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in June and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit using a market approach, which takes into account the Company’s market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. In connection with the Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, it was concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill as the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 “ Property, Plant and Equipment Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their remaining useful life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment would be recognized in operating results at the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730 “ Research and Development |
Software Development Costs | Software Development Costs Under ASC 985 “ Software |
Patent Costs | Patent Costs Costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. Capitalized patent costs, also referred to as patent prosecution costs, include internal legal labor, professional legal fees, government filing fees and translation fees related to expanding the Company’s patent portfolio. Costs associated with the maintenance and annuity fees of patents are accounted for as prepaid assets at the time of payment and amortized over the shorter of the maintenance period or remaining life of the related patent. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition See Note 2 for detailed disclosures of the Company’s revenue recognition policy. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “ Compensation—Stock Compensation For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of valuation. The Company’s determination of the fair value on the date of grant (measurement date) is affected by its stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected life of the award, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. Although the fair value of stock-based awards is determined in accordance with ASC 718 and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 “ Shared-Based Payment ” The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date), and is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “ Income Taxes The Company records valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the assets will not be realized. The Company is subject to income taxes within the U.S. and other countries, and, in the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company reports a liability (or contra asset) for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) on a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to the unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. |
