As trial in an earlier Western District of Texas case, against ASUSTek, has been reset for March 2024, ACQIS LLC has sued Advantech (6:23-cv-00882), Cisco (6:23-cv-00884), Fujitsu (6:23-cv-00878), MSI (Micro-Star International) (6:23-cv-00883), Panasonic (6:23-cv-00880), and ZT Group (6:23-cv-00881) over the provision of various products (e.g., computer, networking, and server products) that support “[Peripheral Component Interconnect Express] PCIe and/or USB 3.x” functionality. The fresh round of suits—in one of the longest-running active campaigns—comes after District Judge Alan D. Albright granted a motion for summary judgment of validity to ACQIS in the ASUSTek case and, in separate suits, denied a motion for a convenience transfer filed by Sony and denied a motion for partial dismissal of Section 271(g) claims filed by Quanta Computer—a denial that will likely bear on a parallel motion for dismissal, filed by Hon Hai Precision Industry.
