Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On December 15, 2016, Finjan Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing an update with respect to its subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), and Finjan’s second patent infringement suit against Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (“Blue Coat”), Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (5:15-cv-03295-BLF, “Blue Coat II”), with the Honorable Beth Labson Freeman presiding. On December 13, 2016, the Court entered its Order (“the Order”) denying Blue Coat’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings under 35 U.S.C. § 101 (“the Motion”), filed on September 16, 2016, that asserted claims of Finjan’s U.S. Patent No. 8,677,494 (“the ‘494 Patent”) are invalid for lack of patentable subject matter. The Order concluded that “the asserted claims of the ‘494 patent …contain an inventive concept sufficient to transform [the] claims into patentable subject matter.” The Order can be found on p. 21 of Docket No. 156.

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