Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 16, 2009, U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. finalized its settlement with regard to the litigation brought by Ford Motor Company against several defendants to protect Ford's design patents on genuine Ford collision parts.

The settlement and consent end two legal actions: 1) involving replacement collision parts for Ford's F-150 pickup truck, which had advanced to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals; and 2) involving replacement collision parts for the Ford Mustang, which was before the US International Trade Commission (ITC).

U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. agreed to not challenge the validity of the patents on Ford parts; it will be allowed to sell aftermarket parts that correspond to patented Ford replacement parts through a distribution agreement entered into with LKQ Corporation. The details of the distribution agreement are confidential.
