Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 24, 2016, Finjan Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on March 22, 2016, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), U.S. Patent No. 9,294,493 (“the ‘493 Patent”) entitled “Computer Security Method and system with Input Parameter Validation”. The Company also announced that on March 21, 2016, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted Palo Alto Networks’ Petition to institute invalidity proceedings to hear evidence and argument on whether certain claims of Finjan’s U.S. Patent No. 8,141,154 (“the “154 Patent”) are invalid in light of prior art asserted by Palo Alto Networks (IPR2015-01979). The Company further announced that on March 23, 2016, the PTAB rejected Palo Alto Networks’ petition for IPR (IPR2015-02000) of Finjan’s U.S. Patent No. 7,418,731 (“the ‘731 Patent”). Specifically, the PTAB held that Palo Alto Networks failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood that it would prevail in proving that any of the claims of the ‘731 Patent is invalid.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
