Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
On January 23, 2020, Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) issued its decision finding in favor of the Company in the appeal by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Mirror Worlds Technologies, LLC, of a summary judgment decision in favor of Facebook, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 
In its decision, the Federal Circuit reversed the summary judgment finding that Mirror Worlds presented sufficient evidence in response to Facebook’s motion for summary judgment, that the “sole basis for the grant of summary judgment” was erroneous and remanded the litigation to the Southern District of New York for further proceedings.  The decision also rejected Facebook’s “alternative grounds” for supporting the District Court’s erroneously entered judgment. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
