“In Litigation of Epic Proportions”, Request to Stop “Distasteful” and “Noxious” Speech Denied

February 24, 2025

Middle District of Florida Judge Paul G. Byron recently denied, without prejudice, a Qualcomm request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that would have stopped plaintiff ParkerVision, Inc. (and its surrogates) “from posting stories, granting interviews, or otherwise disseminating stories through its website, willing media outlets, or in self-produced documentary-style videos”. The court agreed that ParkerVision’s recent “media blitz” is “distasteful” and “noxious” but expressed confidence that it would be able to seat an impartial jury in any future trial between the two. That trial would occur in ParkerVision’s second case against Qualcomm (6:14-cv-00687)—a case filed back in May 2014 and revived by the Federal Circuit last fall.
