In Consolidated Cybersecurity Campaign, Court Rules Multiple Times for QPRC’s Taasera Licensing

March 21, 2023

Taasera Licensing LLC, a subsidiary of publicly traded Quest Patent Research Corporation (QPRC), is litigating a cybersecurity campaign against six defendants: Check Point Software, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Trellix, and Trend Micro. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) moved all cases in the campaign for pretrial purposes to the Eastern District of Texas, where Judge Rodney Gilstrap has just ruled on multiple motions filed in the earliest three cases. One of those rulings dismissed the declaratory judgment action filed by Palo Alto Networks in the Southern District of New York, for lack of personal jurisdiction over Taasera Licensing and for lack of subject matter jurisdiction as to QPRC. That same day, March 15, Taasera Licensing immediately filed an affirmative case over the same nine patents against Palo Alto Networks (2:23-cv-00113) in the Eastern District of Texas, ensuring that that dispute will now remain there through any trial.
