Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Contingencies From time to time, we may be a party to various legal proceedings and subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. BlackBerry Litigation Starting in October 2019, BlackBerry Corp. and its subsidiary Cylance, Inc. (BlackBerry) filed a total of nine proceedings (seven lawsuits and two arbitrations) against us and certain former BlackBerry employees who joined our company. In these proceedings, BlackBerry alleges that it has viable legal claims as a result of its former employees joining us. Many of these proceedings have now been dismissed. The status of each of the currently pending proceedings is discussed below. We have defended against these claims vigorously and expect to continue to do so. BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Coulter, et al. On October 17, 2019, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Chris Coulter, in the Vermont Superior Court—Chittenden Unit, Case No. 953-10-19 Cncv, against Chris Coulter, a now-former employee who worked in our Vigilance services team (the “Vermont Action”). On October 23, 2019, BlackBerry filed an amended complaint that added the company as a defendant. The amended complaint asserts claims against us for conspiracy, tortious interference with contract, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, and misappropriation of trade secrets. On April 17, 2020, the court in the Vermont Action issued a preliminary injunction that enjoined Mr. Coulter from working at our company until after February 2021. As a result of the court’s order, Mr. Coulter chose to seek other employment and is no longer employed by us. On January 15, 2021, the court entered an order narrowing the scope of the case and limiting the claims against us to avoid conflict with a similar action that was previously filed in California and was dismissed. The Vermont Action is currently pending. The matter is set to be ready for trial by July 1, 2023; no trial date has been set. On October 25, 2019, BlackBerry commenced a separate action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al v. Coulter, et al., No. 2019-0854-JTL (Del. Ch.) (the “Delaware Action”) against Mr. Coulter and the company in Delaware Chancery Court. The court stayed this case pending resolution of the Vermont Action. On February 7, 2020, BlackBerry voluntarily dismissed without prejudice all claims against Mr. Coulter and us in the Delaware Action. On December 3, 2019, BlackBerry initiated a largely duplicative arbitration solely against Mr. Coulter administered by JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider. That arbitration, however, was dismissed on or about March 30, 2021, with JAMS informing us that they had closed their files on this matter on April 30, 2021. BlackBerry Corp. et al. v. Sentinel Labs, Inc., et al. On January 16, 2020, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Sentinel Labs, Inc., et al., No. 20CV361950 in the California Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California against us and unnamed “Doe” defendants (who counsel understands are all former BlackBerry employees that we later employed), asserting claims for trade secret misappropriation and unfair business practices (the “California Action”). We filed counterclaims that, in part, seek to invalidate unlawful provisions under California law in BlackBerry’s agreements it entered into with its employees. Between December 2020 and August 2021, there were several rounds of motion practice, court hearings, and court orders relating to the sufficiency of BlackBerry’s identification of its alleged trade secrets in connection with its misappropriation of trade secrets claim, resulting in a narrowed scope of this claim. In March 2023, BlackBerry filed an amended complaint with an additional claim for unfair business practices. We demurred to that claim, and a court hearing on the demurrer is set for June 29, 2023. We are mid-discovery, and there have been court hearings and orders in connection with various discovery disputes. We continue to vigorously litigate this lawsuit, including our counterclaims against BlackBerry. Fact discovery is currently set to close by August 2023, and a trial has now been set for March 28, 2024. BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Quinn, et al. On February 17, 2020, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Quinn, et al., Case No. D-1-GN-20-00096, in 459th Judicial District of Travis County, Texas, against Sean Quinn, our now-former employee, and the company. On August 8, 2020, we and Mr. Quinn moved to stay or dismiss this case in light of the overlapping issues between this lawsuit and the California Action. On September 21, 2020, the court stayed this case pending resolution of the California Action. This lawsuit remains stayed and is pending in abeyance before the Texas court. BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Kaylan Brown Coulter. On April 7, 2022, BlackBerry commenced an action captioned BlackBerry Corp., et al. v. Kaylan Brown Coulter, Case No. 22-cv-01249, in the Superior Court -Chittenden Unit, Vermont, against Kaylan Brown-Coulter, the wife of Chris Coulter (referenced above), alleging breach of non-disclosure and non-solicitation agreements, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duties, and civil conspiracy. While this is part of the same series of lawsuits by BlackBerry, we were not named in this action. On May 6, 2022, Ms. Brown-Coulter removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Vermont (Case No. 5:22-cv-98). Shortly thereafter, on May 13, 2022, Ms. Brown-Coulter filed a motion to dismiss all claims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). This motion is currently pending before the court. Discovery (both fact and expert) is currently set to close by October 15, 2023, and the matter is currently set to be trial ready by March 1, 2024 unless a motion for summary judgment is pending.. We have not recorded any accruals for loss contingencies associated with these legal proceedings, determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable, or determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable. We believe that there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Warranties and Indemnification Our services are generally warranted to deliver and operate in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially conform with our documentation under normal use and circumstances. Our contracts generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products or services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. We also offer a limited warranty to certain customers, subject to certain conditions, to cover certain costs incurred by the customer in case of a cybersecurity breach. We have entered into an insurance policy to cover our potential liability arising from this limited warranty arrangement. We have not incurred any material costs related to such obligations and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023. In addition, we also indemnify certain of our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities that may arise while they are serving in good faith in their company capacities. We maintain director and officer liability insurance coverage that would generally enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
