ParkerVision Hits Qualcomm and Downstream Handset Maker with New Suit Following Trial Win
ParkerVision filed a new suit against Qualcomm along with HTC asserting a new group of patents. Seven patents related to radio frequency communication are at issue (6,091,940, 6,704,549, 6,873,836, 7,039,372, 7,050,508, 7,966,012, 8,190,116). Integrated circuits made by Qualcomm and used in HTC devices are the accused products. This is the second patent infringement suit filed by ParkerVision against Qualcomm. The previous suit did not name any other defendants and involved other patents from the same family. In October 2013 a jury found that Qualcomm infringed a number of the patents asserted by ParkerVision and the decision is referenced in the new complaint. 5/2, Middle District of Florida, 6:14cv00687
