PQA Asks Court to Shield Its Members from Unjust Harm, VLSI Technology Persists
Eastern District of Virginia Judge M. Hannah Lauck ordered Patent Quality Assurance (PQA) to comply fully with a local rule requiring “non-publicly traded entities such as LLCs” to identify its “owners or members”. By the December 17 deadline, PQA filed an updated disclosure, unredacted for the court but with redactions occluding its “owners or members” from public view, filing a concurrent motion to seal its disclosure, not only keeping it permanently from the public, but also asking the court to deny VLSI Technology LLC, the Fortress Investment Group LLC plaintiff in the case, access to who is behind PQA.
