Network System Technologies LLC (NST) has launched its inaugural litigation campaign with three district court cases filed in Texas on December 19: the first, against Arteris and Qualcomm in the Western District (1:22-cv-01331); the second, against Ford, TI, and Volkswagen (including Audi) in the Eastern District (2:22-cv-00482); and the third, against Lenovo, OnePlus, and Samsung, also in the Eastern District (2:22-cv-00481). A group of six former Philips patents—from a portfolio of nearly 50—are asserted across all three cases, with infringement allegations trained on certain Systems-on-Chip (SoC) products and automobile infotainment systems or mobile devices that allegedly include such SOCs. Public records indicate that NST has at its helm patent monetization veterans associated with multiple prior campaigns asserting former operating company patents—and they also point to the involvement of third-party litigation funding in this latest endeavor.
