In early 2023, Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap was to preside over a trial between Collision Communications, Inc. (f/k/a Collision Technology, LLC) and Nokia in the first case that the plaintiff filed in this, its only litigation campaign; a settlement ended that proceeding a few weeks after Nokia filed a motion challenging Collision’s standing to sue over its patents. Now, the plaintiff has returned to litigation, this time suing Lenovo (2:23-cv-00594) and Samsung (2:23-cv-00587) in separate cases, also filed in the Eastern District of Texas, over two of the patents asserted against Nokia—and against Ericsson in a parallel suit—together with four others.
