On March 14, 2023, on the eve of trial as to Verizon (Verizon Wireless), Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright dismissed, without prejudice, a case brought by Traxcell Technologies, LLC in December 2020. Verizon had filed an emergency motion to dismiss the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, arguing that because a Texas state court ordered Traxcell’s assets, including its patents, to be turned over to a receiver for sale, the plaintiff no longer owned the three remaining asserted patents. The Texas state court was enforcing an attorney fee award in an earlier Eastern District of Texas case; Traxcell—represented by litigation counsel (Ramey LLP) disclosed as having a financial interest in the outcome of the campaign—appealed that award but failed to post a bond. Now, Traxcell has moved Judge Albright to amend the prior judgment and reinstate the case.
