In his tracked appearance, Mr. Parker represented Sony Corporation of America as a defendant in Uniloc USA, Inc. et al. v. Sony Corporation of America et al. This case, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, involved four patents related to wireless messaging and network session technologies asserted against Sony's PlayStation Messages app. After over seven and a half years of litigation, the case was dismissed with prejudice by joint stipulation in February 2024, with each party bearing its own costs. The dismissal with prejudice means Uniloc is permanently barred from reasserting these claims against Sony.
