Entropic Communications, LLC has filed separate Eastern District of Texas cases against Ubee Interactive (2:24-cv-00911) and Vantiva (f/k/a Technicolor) (2:24-cv-00912), targeting the provision of cable modems and gateways, with Vantiva further targeted over television set-top boxes, that “include or are based on the Broadcom BCM3390, BCM33843, or BCM3384 [systems-on-chip (SoCs)]”. The new cases have been assigned to District Judge Robert W. Schroeder III, but Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap presided over the earlier litigation in this district from Entropic, against Charter Communications. There, most recently, briefing has completed in an appeal that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed after the district court denial of its motion to intervene, following settlement, to seek the unsealing of the parties’ briefing (and evidence) regarding “a nationally important, precedent-setting case-dispositive defense”.
