Last April, ACQIS LLC, a subsidiary of Acqis Technology Incorporated, separately sued Microsoft and Sony in a pair of Western District of Texas complaints added to a litigation campaign active since April 2009. The plaintiff has now added two more April suits, accusing Hon Hai Precision Industry (6:23-cv-00264) and Quanta Computer (6:23-cv-00265), again in West Texas, of infringing overlapping subsets of the 30 patents at issue in this campaign, through the provision of products that support the “[peripheral component interconnect express] PCIe and/or USB 3.x” functionality, including various Apple products. Apple is not among the more than two dozen defendants snagged by this campaign over the past decade plus.
