Entropic Communications, LLC has filed its first lawsuits to date, hitting AT&T (with subsidiary DirectTV) (2:22-cv-00075) and DISH Network (2:22-cv-00076) in the Eastern District of Texas over patents received from MaxLinear. The asserted patents generally relate to satellite and cable technology and moved from MaxLinear to the plaintiff last year in an transaction that hinted at the involvement of Fortress Investment Group LLC—a relationship since confirmed by public records.
