Impinj and NXP Semiconductors have been locked in multifront patent litigation since Impinj filed a June 2019 case in the Northern District of California alleging that NXP USA infringes patents generally related to RAIN RFID technology. In mid-July 2023, a jury returned a verdict in that case, awarding Impinj $17.79M in lost profits and an additional $1.36M in reasonable royalties, with Impinj subsequently moving both to reconvene the jury to address an apparent inconsistency in the verdict and to impose a permanent injunction against NXP’s infringing sales. This past week, Impinj filed a new complaint, this one in the Western District of Texas against NXP Semiconductors Netherlands (6:23-cv-00586), pleading that once District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers enters judgment in its favor, that judgment will bind the defendant as to additional sales that the court kept out of the Northern California suit. Meanwhile, an earlier Western District of Texas case is fast approaching a late October trial before District Judge Alan D. Albright, all of this after a Western District of Washington jury returned a verdict in Impinj’s favor in a case filed by NXP back in 2019.
