Future Link Systems, LLC v. Qualcomm Inc. et al

Future Link Systems, LLC has added suits against Apple (6:21-cv-00263), Broadcom (6:21-cv-00264), and Qualcomm (6:21-cv-00265) to the case that it filed earlier this year, against AMD, all in the Western District of Texas. The IPValue Management (d/b/a IPValue) NPE asserts five patents across the three new complaints, one previously at issue, four new to the campaign, and all received from NXP years ago—not as part of Future Link’s recent, January 15, 2021 acquisition of roughly 20 more patents from the same source. The defendants are accused of infringement through the provision of certain processors, and in Apple’s case, devices incorporating them.
