On June 7, 2023, Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright amended a prior judgment dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction a case filed by Traxcell Technologies, LLC against Verizon (Verizon Wireless). The dismissal has been vacated, the case reinstated and stayed to await the outcome of an appeal from a roughly $588K award of attorney fees to Verizon arising from a related Eastern District of Texas suit, as well as resolution within the Texas state court system of an action that Verizon filed to enforce that attorney fees award. Judge Albright notes that a stay is appropriate in the reopened case because the court is “particularly convinced that Verizon will be prejudiced without a stay because it will be forced to argue against the value of the patents that may be sold to make Verizon whole”, i.e., in eventual satisfaction of that attorney fees award.
