The company’s patent litigation history in the database reflects its position as an operating company defending its technology. It has been a defendant in one tracked case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This defensive posture is typical for a large technology manufacturer. The single tracked case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a common venue for patent disputes.
The notable case is Atlas Global Technologies LLC v. CommScope, Inc. et al., filed in 2021. The plaintiff, Atlas Global Technologies, is a non-practicing entity (NPE) and a subsidiary of patent assertion firm Acacia Research. Atlas Global's business model is licensing and enforcing a portfolio of patents, many of which are declared essential to the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard.
This case is one of the initial filings in a broad litigation campaign by Atlas Global Technologies LLC asserting U.S. Patent 10,020,919 against multiple technology companies.
