Item 8.01Other Events

On July 1, 2020, Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 10,700,856 (Key Derivation for a Module Using an Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card). The claims in the newly issued patent are generally directed towards a subscription manager system for distributing a profile and updating profiles on embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICC or embedded sim cards).

 

The newly issued patent arises from a patent application contained in the M2M/IoT patent portfolio acquired by the Company in December 2017 (the “M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio”). With this latest issuance, the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio now includes twenty-nine (29) issued U.S. patents and five (5) pending U.S. patent applications, plus seven (7) additional pending non-U.S. patent applications. The Company anticipates further issuances of additional claims for the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio.
