EAST PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 29, 2017) - Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN), a cybersecurity company, and its subsidiary Finjan, Inc. ("Finjan") announced that on March 28, 2017, the Honorable Saundra Brown Armstrong of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ("the Court") denied FireEye, Inc.'s motion to renew the stay in Finjan, Inc. v. FireEye, Inc. (4:13-cv-03133-SBA, Dkt. 81) and reopened the case.

On July 8, 2013, Finjan asserted that FireEye is infringing seven of its patents, U.S. Patent Nos.: 6,804,780 (the "'780 Patent"), 8,079,086 (the "'086 Patent"), 7,975,305 (the "'305 Patent"), 8,225,408 (the "'408 Patent"), 7,058,822 (the "'822 Patent"), 7,647,633 (the "'633 Patent"), and 6,154,844 (the "'844 Patent"). On October 7, 2013, FireEye moved to stay the litigation pending resolution of proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and the Court granted FireEye's motion on June 2, 2014 (Dkt. 72). Just yesterday, the Court lifted the stay noting specifically, among other things, that the USPTO confirmed the validity of the '408 Patent and the '633 Patent, denied institution of Inter Partes Review of the '086 Patent, and that 70% of the '305 Patent claims were unchallenged. In a separate Order, the Court set a telephonic Case Management Conference for April 20, 2017.
