Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 15, 2006, C2 Communications Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of C2 Global Technologies Inc. (“C2”), filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sprint Nextel Corporation and certain other co-defendants. The complaint was filed in the Marshall Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and alleges that the defendants’ services and systems utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol infringe C2’s U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373 (the “’373 Patent”), entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System”.
On May 30, 2008, C2 executed a Settlement and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sprint Communications Co. L.P. (“Sprint”) for the purpose of settling its patent infringement litigation against Sprint Nextel Corporation. Under the terms of the Agreement, C2 granted Sprint a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, royalty-free license under any of C2’s present patents and patent applications, including the ‘373 Patent, to make, use, sell or otherwise dispose of any goods and services based on such patents. The foregoing license grant was made in consideration of Sprint’s payment to C2 in the amount of $1.9 million. The payment was received on June 4, 2008. In addition, the Agreement contains other terms and provisions customary for agreements of this nature. C2’s litigation with other co-defendants in the patent infringement lawsuit is on-going.
