Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On April 1, 2019, Finjan Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), announced that on March 25, 2019, the United States Patent & Trademark Office’s (“USPTO”) Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) entered a Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) against Juniper Networks, Inc. ( “Juniper”). In its petition, Case IPR2019-00031, Juniper sought to invalidate Claim 1 of Finjan’s U.S. Patent No. 8,141,154 (“the ‘154 Patent”). In denying institution of the IPR under 35 U.S.C § 314(a), the PTAB relied on its, and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s, prior claim construction, and determined that Juniper failed to establish a reasonable likelihood that Claim 1 is unpatentable in light of asserted prior art.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
