Contingent assets — unquantifiable

Wireless Local Area Network — contingency asset

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is currently involved in legal proceedings in the United States of America related to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) patent which it owns and wishes to license broadly. If successful, CSIRO would earn significant revenue from royalty payments which would exceed the associated legal costs over time. At this stage, the revenue and costs are considered unquantifiable.
