Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) announced the resolution of all disputes with Verance Corporation regarding existing patent and breach of contract claims.
Digimarc and Verance will file a joint motion to dismiss Digimarc’s breach of contract claim against Verance related to Verance’s alleged failure to make payments under a license agreement entered into between Digimarc and Verance in August 2002. They also will file a joint motion to dismiss Verance’s appeal in its action for declaratory judgment alleging invalidity and non-infringement of twenty-two Digimarc patents.
In connection with the resolution of these matters, Digimarc and Verance entered into a three year renewal and extension license agreement, effective October 1, 2011, pursuant to which Verance paid Digimarc $8 million for amounts due to Digimarc through September 30, 2011. The agreement further provides that Verance will continue to pay royalties quarterly to Digimarc. Upon completion of the initial three year term, Verance may renew the agreement for up to nine additional one year periods. The renewal and extension license agreement replaces the August 2002 license agreement between the parties.
