Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Document Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on January 15, 2020 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Company’s subsidiary, DSS Technology Management (“DSSTM”), had previously filed suit against Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) for patent infringement. The Original Form 8-K reported that on January 14, 2020, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”), in the case captioned DSS Technology Management, Inc. v. Apple, Inc., 4:14-cv-05330-HSG, issued an order that denied DSSTM’s motion to amend its infringement contentions (the “Order”). In the same Order, the Court granted Apple’s motion to strike DSSTM’s infringement expert report.

 

The Company is filing this Amendment to the Original Form 8-K to report the Final Judgment of non-infringement entered by the Court on February 24, 2020 (the “Final Judgment”).

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On February 24, 2020, the Court in the case DSS Technology Management, Inc. v. Apple, Inc. entered the Final Judgment. The Final Judgment was based on the Court’s prior decision in which the Court denied DSSTM’s motion to amend infringement contentions and granted Apple’s motion to strike DSSTM’ joint expert report on infringement. DSSTM intends to appeal the Final Judgment.
