This Wednesday, Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright is scheduled to hear competing summary judgment arguments from plaintiff VLSI Technology LLC and defendant Intel ahead of a potential trial over Intel’s license defense based on Fortress Investment Group LLC’s 2020 acquisition of Finjan, Inc. VLSI asks Judge Albright to rule that Intel has no license; Intel asks the court to rule in its favor on most issues, leaving for a jury only whether VLSI and Finjan are under Fortress’s common control. Intel has also challenged VLSI’s planned presentation from seven experts, arguing that their “public policy and legal opinions” are impermissible. Meanwhile, Northern District of California Judge Richard Seeborg just granted to Palo Alto Networks summary judgment of noninfringement of the last three patents from Finjan’s 2014 case against it, ending Finjan’s long-running litigation campaign, pending any appeal.
