On the heels of recent settlements with ASUSTek, Huawei, and ZTE, Maxell has sued Apple for alleged patent infringement (5:19-cv-00036). Maxell’s March 15 complaint, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, accuses various Apple devices of infringing ten patents, including patents previously asserted by Maxell against ASUSTek, BlackBerry, Huawei, and/or ZTE. The patents asserted against Apple also include several that were at issue in a June 2018 trial against ZTE, which culminated in a $43.3M damages award.
