Item 8.01. Other Events

On March 29, 2012, United Services Automobile Association (“USAA”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas San Antonio Division, as Case No. 12-cv-00282-FB, against Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that USAA does not infringe certain patents of the Company relating to Mobile Deposit, and that such patents are not enforceable against USAA. USAA is also seeking to prevent Mitek from using USAA’s proprietary information. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property rights.

On April 3, 2012, the Company issued a press release regarding its comments with respect to the above referenced complaint. The full text of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
