NEW YORK, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Finjan
Holdings, Inc. (OTC MKT: FNJN) (the "Company") today announced its
subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (Finjan) has filed a patent infringement
lawsuit against Sophos, alleging infringement of Finjan patents
relating to endpoint, web, and network security technologies.
The complaint, filed this morning in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of California, alleges that Sophos' products and
services infringe upon six of Finjan's patents. In the
complaint, Finjan is seeking undisclosed damages from Sophos.
"Finjan has a broad patent portfolio covering behavior-based
intrusion prevention and detection technologies generally deployed
across the endpoint, web and networking markets, resulting from
years of substantial R&D," commented Finjan's President,
Phil Hartstein. "With this new
case, we continue down a path of protecting our proprietary
inventions from unlicensed companies employing these technologies
in direct competition to our existing licensing partners.
This latest action against Sophos reflects that mandate to actively
enforce our patent rights, when necessary."
Recognized internationally as a pioneer and leader in web and
network security, Finjan's decades-long investment in innovation is
captured in its patent portfolio, centered around software and
hardware technologies capable of proactively detecting previously
unknown and emerging threats on a real-time, behavior-based
basis. Finjan has proudly licensed its patents and technology
to several major software and technology companies around the
world.

ABOUT FINJAN:
Founded in 1997, Finjan is one of the
first companies to develop and patent proprietary technology and
software that is capable of detecting previously unknown and
emerging threats on a real-time, behavior-based basis, in contrast
to signature-based methods of intercepting only known
threats to computers, which were previously standard in the online
security industry. Finjan continues to be a leading online security
and technology company, developing and patenting new proprietary
technologies related to software that proactively detects malicious
code and thereby protects end-users from identity and data theft,
spyware, malware, phishing, trojans and other online threats.
