Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
Quantum Corp. today announced that it has filed an amended complaint in its pending lawsuit against Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS) for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The Quantum lawsuit now accuses Crossroads of infringing two patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,766,412 and No. 5,940,849). The infringement claims involve products in Crossroads' StrongBox and SPHiNX product lines. The lawsuit follows Crossroads System's patent infringement claims filed against Quantum in February 2014 in the Western District of Texas. In its answer, Quantum has denied Crossroads' claims and asserted that they are invalid and that Quantum has not infringed.
