ACQIS Hits Two More and Seeks Consolidated Trial Proceedings in West Texas After Sidestepping Issue Preclusion in East Texas

April 16, 2022

ACQIS LLC, a subsidiary of Acqis Technology Incorporated, has filed Western District of Texas complaints against Microsoft (6:22-cv-00685) and Sony (6:22-cv-00686) in its long-running campaign targeting the support of the “[peripheral component interconnect express] PCIe and/or USB 3.x” functionality in various devices, here the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 computer and PlayStation 4 Slim gaming console, respectively. The new complaints come amid a Federal Circuit appeal from a summary judgment of noninfringement in a case filed earlier against Dell (EMC) (2021-1772), while earlier suits—one filed against each of Acer, ASUSTek, Inventec, Lenovo, and Wistron (Wiwynn)—deal with the fallout from a claim construction hearing and order from District Judge Alan D. Albright.
