Stay Denied in Part to Avoid Losing Testimony over Disputed Ownership History
In December 2024, XiFi Networks R&D, Inc. sued Samsung in the Eastern District of Texas, targeting the provision of products that support multiple link operation over Wi-Fi 7, including smartphones, tablets, laptops and Chromebooks, TVs, and smartwatches. Samsung responded in part by filing petitions for America Invents Act (AIA) review of each of the 11 patents asserted (two by amended complaint). District Judge Rodney Gilstrap has denied a motion to stay the case to await the results of those proceedings, acknowledging XiFi’s contention “that it has already run into issues accessing documents and deposing witnesses about the 2008-2013 window in which there are open questions and issues regarding patent ownership in this case”.
