Ascale Technologies LLC, an Anjay Venture Partners LLC plaintiff, has filed its first litigation, suing Texas Instruments (TI) (2:25-cv-00243) in the Eastern District of Texas over the provision of “integrated circuits including a processor” including display controllers, DSPs, microcontrollers, PMICs, processors, and “wireless connectivity chips”. The three asserted patents are part of a larger portfolio that RPX recently reported that Ascale Technologies had received from NXP USA, a subsidiary of NXP Semiconductors, on December 28, 2024.

Recorded patent assignments recently made public reveal a new Texas entity operated by a familiar and funded monetization team picking up a semiconductor portfolio; a networking entity previously backed by Fortress Investment Group LLC moving a traffic management portfolio onto the market; an IoT provider transferring all of its US patent assets during a “controlled recapitalization”; a Texas entity tied to an now-established operation topping off a prior acquisition, here with a video communications patent and a network collaboration patent; and the continued Delaware-to-Texas flow of patents by a named inventor awaiting the lift of a Northern District of California stay, that lift increasingly likely given a long list of inter partes reviews (IPRs) and ex parte reexaminations (EPR) seeming to draw to an end.
