Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in various claims, legal actions, and government inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation, claims, and inquiries cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.

Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation or government inquiries cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation and government inquiries can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. For more information, see “Legal Matters” in Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
