On the same day this past January, Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright both denied a motion to transfer a May 2023 case that Proxense, LLC filed against Alphabet (Google) to the Northern District of California and docketed a claim construction order in the case. Google has filed a petition for mandamus review by the Federal Circuit of that decision. Meanwhile, Microsoft, also sued by Proxense last May, has moved Judge Albright for a stay pending the resolution of its own motion to transfer, to the Western District of Washington. Against this backdrop, inventor-controlled Proxense has now sued Apple (6:24-cv-00143), also in West Texas.
