Part
II. OTHER
INFORMATION ITEM
1. Legal
Proceedings
We are
involved, from time to time, in various environmental, contractual, product
liability, patent (or intellectual property) and other claims and disputes
incidental to our business. In addition to the information that is
included below, we have included certain of the information called for by this
Item in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and we are
incorporating that information here by reference. On February 10,
2009, a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”)
by Humanscale Corporation alleging the unlawful importation of certain
adjustable keyboard support systems and components into the U.S. by us and our
Canadian subsidiary, CompX Waterloo. Additionally, on February 13,
2009, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in the United States
District Court by Humanscale against us and CompX Waterloo. We deny
any infringement alleged in these complaints and seek to dismiss these
complaints.
On March
30, 2009, we filed a counterclaim against Humanscale for patent infringement of
certain patents held by CompX relating to keyboard support arms. We
believe certain Humanscale keyboard support arms infringe on our
patents.
On April
8, 2009, Accuride International Inc. filed a complaint for patent infringement
in the United States District Court against us and a U.S. subsidiary. Accuride
seeks an order declaring willful infringement of a U.S. patent held by Accuride;
an order enjoining CompX from making or selling slides that so infringe; damages
for infringement of at least $1,000,000; and costs and attorneys’ fees. We deny
the allegations of infringement noted in this complaint and will seek to dismiss
the complaint.
Currently
no material environmental or other material litigation is pending or, to our
knowledge, threatened. We currently believe that the disposition of
all claims and disputes, individually or in the aggregate, should not have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity. Refer also to Note 7 to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and to our 2008 Annual Report.
