Advanced Coding Technologies LLC (ACT) has filed a second suit against Apple (2:24-cv-00687), in which it asserts three patents that it added to its case against Alphabet (Google) through an early August amended complaint. Now in suit against both defendants are the same six patents, which overlap with subsets of a larger portfolio received from JVCKenwood, subsets asserted in cases against Bytedance, LG Electronics (LGE) and Samsung. Still active, the case against Samsung is closing in on trial, although Samsung has just notified Eastern District of Texas Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap that its renewed motion to stay the suit to await appeals from various inter partes reviews (IPRs) is now fully briefed.
