Item 8.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 12, 2013, Research Frontiers Inc. filed a lawsuit against E Ink Corporation; E Ink Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Prime View International Co., Ltd.); Amazon.com, Inc.; Sony Electronics Inc.; Sony Corporation; Barnes & Noble, Inc.; and Barnesandnoble.com LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for patent infringement of two of its patents.

On December 2, 2013 Research Frontiers amended its complaint and asserted an additional claim of United States No. 6,271,956.

Research Frontiers asserts infringement by the named defendants of United States Patent No. 6,606,185, entitled “SPD Films and Light Valves Comprising Liquid Suspensions of Heat-Reflective Particles of Mixed Metal Oxides and Methods of Making Such Particles,” United States Patent No. 5,463,491 entitled “Light Valve Employing a Film Comprising an Encapsulated Liquid Suspension, and Method of Making Such Film,” and United States Patent No. 6,271,956, entitled “Method and Materials for Enhancing the Adhesion of SPD Films, and Light Valves Comprising Same.”

Research Frontiers alleges that E Ink Corporation’s products and those of its customers, such as various models of the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, and other e-reader/e-book devices, infringe on its patents.

Research Frontiers seeks an injunction in addition to monetary damages and pre-judgment interest and other relief against the defendants.
