Pointing to possible signs of involvement by IP Edge LLC and US Innovation Fund LLC, defendant Shopify earlier this year asked the Western District of Texas to require identification of all third parties with a financial interest in litigation filed by Lower48 IP, LLC—and disclosure of the scope of those interests. District Judge David A. Ezra has now affirmed a magistrate’s denial of Shopify’s motion to compel, finding that neither a need to rule out judicial conflict of interest, nor precedent in the Western District of Texas, necessitates disclosure beyond what has already been provided to the court.
