USTA Technology, LLC filed an Eastern District of Texas case against Lenovo this past June, hitting ASUSTek, AT&T (AT&T Mobility), LG Electronics (LGE), and Samsung in the same district. Now, the plaintiff has filed a case against Lenovo (Motorola Mobility) that targets the provision of a wider set of products, including modems, routers, and smartphones, as well as related hardware and software products, that are compliant with the “wideband channel access features of the 802.11ac standard”. Asserted is the same patent, generally related to “managing interference in a radio communications network”.

This past December, the suit that USTA Technology, LLC filed in the Western District of Texas against Alphabet (Google) in November 2022 was dismissed with prejudice from its transferee district, the Northern District of California. Before granting Google its requested convenience transfer, District Judge Xavier Rodriguez denied the plaintiff’s motion for leave to conduct venue-related discovery, noting that “[a]n exhaustive search of Google’s activity, personnel, and suppliers in the Western District of Texas for the purpose of determining the relative convenience is not an efficient use of judicial resources”. For its five-pack of new cases, one filed against each of ASUSTek (4:24-cv-00512), AT&T (AT&T Mobility) (4:24-cv-00513), Lenovo (4:24-cv-00515), LG Electronics (LGE) (4:24-cv-00516), and Samsung (4:24-cv-00517) over the same patent, USTA Technology has turned to the Eastern District of Texas.

USTA Technology, LLC has filed its first litigation, suing Alphabet (Google) (6:22-cv-01214) in the Western District of Texas. The Delaware plaintiff asserts a single patent generally related to “managing interference in a radio communications network”, with Google accused of infringement through the provision of the Google Nest WiFi Router, Google Nest WiFi Point, and Google Pixel 7 smartphones. At issue are the products’ compliance with the “wideband channel access features of the 802.11ac standard”.
