Red Rock Analytics Pelts Apple with Another Suit—This Time Also Naming Qualcomm

April 14, 2021

The last time that inventor-controlled Red Rock Analytics, LLC sued Apple it targeted the provision of devices—various models of iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Airport, Time Capsule, and Mac as well as the Homepod—compliant with the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard and with later versions of Wi-Fi (“e.g. 802.11ac, 802.11ad, and/or 802.11ax”), including “802.11n and later wireless transceivers made by Broadcom”. It did so without naming Broadcom itself as a defendant. Now, a couple of years later, Red Rock has tagged Apple (6:21-cv-00346) over the same patent again, this time naming Qualcomm as a codefendant, identifying as the Qualcomm accused products certain 5G wireless transceivers and Wi-Fi 6 wireless transceivers, while Apple is targeted over products, including its iPhone 12-series smartphones, that allegedly incorporate certain of those 5G wireless transceivers (SDR865, SDX55M, and SMR526).
