Apple and Qualcomm lose bid to move patent suit out of Texas
Apple and Qualcomm cannot get a patent case moved from Texas to California, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has decided.
In this lawsuit, which has been active since 2021, Red Rock Analytics claims that both Apple and Qualcomm infringe on its technology for wireless transceivers, including those found in modern 5G and Wi-Fi 6 chips. “While the Petitioners are correct that such categorical assumptions are generally not helpful in the analysis of transfer under § 1404(a), Juniper, 14 F.4th at 1319; see Stewart Org., Inc. v. Ricoh Corp., 487 U.S. 22, 29 (1988) (requiring an “individualized, case-by-case consideration of convenience and fairness” (citation omitted)), they failed to show that any of these potential witnesses are unwilling to testify.” In a ruling issued Tuesday, the court said Apple and Qualcomm didn’t meet the “demanding standard” to prove that Judge Albright had clearly abused his discretion, and noted they failed to mention any actual access restrictions in their original motion.
