Contingent assets — unquantifiable

Innovation, Industry, Science and Research

Wireless Local Area Network

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is currently involved in legal proceedings in the United States related to a wireless local area network (WLAN) patent which CSIRO owns and wishes to license broadly. The proceedings are additional to proceedings settled by agreement in 2009 and are at various phases. If successful, CSIRO expects to receive significant revenue which would exceed the associated legal costs. At this stage, the revenue and costs are unquantifiable.
