Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against our outstanding litigation and do not currently believe that the outcome of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In litigation, including those described herein, plaintiffs may seek various remedies, including, without limitation: declaratory and/or injunctive relief; compensatory or punitive damages; restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, abatement, attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or other relief. Settlement demands may seek significant monetary and other remedies, or otherwise be on terms that we do not consider reasonable under the circumstances. In addition, awards against and settlements by our competitors or publicity associated with our current litigation could incentivize parties to bring additional claims against us.

See Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, “Item 1—Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
