Musarubra (d/b/a Trellix) (2:22-cv-00427) is the latest defendant to be added to the litigation campaign that Taasera Licensing LLC, a subsidiary of publicly traded Quest Patent Research Corporation, launched in November 2021 with a suit against Trend Micro. The nine asserted patents are broadly directed to various aspects of cybersecurity, with Trellix accused of infringement through the provision of certain network security software products and services. In August, the US Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) consolidated the campaign in the Eastern District of Texas before District Judge Rodney Gilstrap. There, Judge Gilstrap has handed down an order deferring consideration of all Rule 12 motions, of which several are pending, until trial, jury selection for which is set in an initial scheduling order for February 2024.
