Bell Semiconductor, LLC (Bell Semic) has filed a second Eastern District of Texas suit against Texas Instruments (4:23-cv-00128), roughly two years after its last one was dismissed with prejudice in light of a noticed settlement. A familiar set of six patents are asserted in the new complaint, with Bell Semic targeting the provision of semiconductor devices that are manufactured using certain design tools provided by Cadence, Synopsys, and/or Siemens. Cadence and Synopsys have together filed a declaratory judgment (DJ) action in the District of Delaware, as Siemens separately has, over those same patents, asking Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly for a preliminary injunction to stop Bell Semic from pursuing its large number of customer suits, filed both in district court and before the International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC has responded to those motions by intervening to oppose any interference with the conduct of its investigations, and Bell Semic has responded to the DJ complaints themselves with motions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
