A barrage of litigation by Bell Semiconductor, LLC (Bell Semic) persisted throughout October, the Hilco Inc. (d/b/a Hilco Global) company filing dozens of district court suits as well as two complaints before the International Trade Commission (ITC), all over patents received from Broadcom. Whether that pace will continue in November remains to be seen, although the plaintiff has already opened the month with a new suit against Silicon Laboratories—a defendant against which the NPE now has four open cases, all in the Western District of Texas.
