American Patents LLC has again expanded its wireless connectivity campaign, adding Western District of Texas suits against Marvell and NXP Semiconductor (6:22-cv-00771), ON Semiconductor (6:22-cv-00772), Qualcomm (6:22-cv-00774), and Renesas Electronics (6:22-cv-00773) in July after suing Broadcom, MediaTek, Realtek Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments in the Eastern District of Texas in June. The complaints target the provision of a wide array of products—including certain systems-on-chip, baseband chips, chipsets, modems, and development kits—over their support of IEEE 802.11n and above and/or LTE as well as Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO), naming the above companies as defendants and including long lists of electronics resellers as induced parties.
