Item 8.01
Other Events.
 

On February 5, 2020, Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 10,552,475 (“Methods For Using Extracted Features To Perform An Action”). The claims of the newly issued patent are generally directed towards methods of content extraction and identification, including performance of actions following therefrom.
 
The newly issued patent arises from a patent application contained in the patent portfolio acquired by the Company from Professor Ingemar Cox in 2013 (the “Cox Patent Portfolio”). Since the acquisition of the Cox Patent Portfolio, the Company has filed thirty-four (34) additional patent applications, thirty-two (32) of which have been issued bringing the total Cox Patent Portfolio of granted patents to thirty-seven (37). Two applications relating to the original specification are still pending and the Company anticipates further issuances of additional claims for its Cox Patent Portfolio. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
