Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitments The Company has contractual commitments with our cloud platform provider and contract manufacturer that are non-cancellable. As of June 30, 2025, future non-cancellable commitments under these arrangements were as follows (in thousands):
Contingencies From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not subject to any current pending legal matters or claims that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Indemnification To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs and has not accrued any material liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of its indemnification obligations. Litigation and Arbitration Occasionally, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, formal and informal dispute resolution processes, which may include arbitration or litigation, claims and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is inherently uncertain, though the Company intends to vigorously defend any such matters. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, the Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable the Company does not accrue for any potential litigation loss. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company’s estimates. On March 12, 2019, a former alleged competitor of Tile, Cellwitch, Inc., filed a patent infringement claim against Tile in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, seeking permanent injunction and damages. On December 18, 2019, Tile filed an inter partes review petition with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) challenging the validity of the patent. On May 13, 2021, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision on Tile’s inter partes review petition (the “Final Written Decision”), finding a majority of the claims invalid. The Final Written Decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 13, 2022. The case is currently in trial court. As reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the claim construction hearing took place on January 18, 2024, and on April 23, 2024, the court released its order which found 10 of the claims invalid, leaving only 2 active claims remaining. On May 16, 2025, the District Court granted Tile’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On June 12, 2025, Cellwitch statutorily disclaimed the asserted patent. In light of the Court’s summary judgment ruling and Cellwitch’s statutory disclaimer of its patent, a loss is not probable, and no litigation reserve has been recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. On August 5, 2025, the parties settled the remaining claims at no cost. On August 14, 2023, plaintiffs Stephanie Ireland-Gordy and Shannon Ireland-Gordy filed a putative class action lawsuit against Tile, Life360, and Amazon.com, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, seeking damages as well as injunctive and declaratory relief. An amended complaint was filed on April 26, 2024, adding named plaintiffs Melissa Broad and Jane Doe. Plaintiffs allege that Tile trackers were used by third parties to monitor their movements without their consent, and assert product liability and other claims. On February 14, 2025, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss, which is currently pending. At this time, a loss is not probable nor estimable, and as a result, no legal accrual has been recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025. As of August 6, 2025, the Ireland-Gordy plaintiffs were dismissed with prejudice and the remaining plaintiffs' claims are stayed pending an appeal of the Court's ruling on the Company's Motion to Compel Arbitration, which was granted-in-part and denied-in-part. The Company receives claims and other threats of litigation from customers in the ordinary course of business. These claims are arbitrable and the Company accrues various costs for these claims including arbitration fees, legal fees and costs. At this time, a loss is not probable nor estimable from any such claims, and as a result, no legal accruals have been recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. No material litigation reserve was recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
