In terms of patent litigation, D-Link primarily operates as a defendant. The company has been named as a defendant in both of its two tracked patent litigation cases, with zero appearances as a plaintiff. This posture suggests D-Link is an operating company defending against patent assertion entity (PAE) or non-practicing entity (NPE) suits.
Both tracked cases involving D-Link, titled "Velocity Communication Technologies, LLC v. D-Link," were filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known to be favored by patent plaintiffs.
On January 23, 2026, the court granted an Agreed Motion to Dismiss. Velocity's claims against D-Link were dismissed with prejudice, and any defendant counterclaims were dismissed without prejudice. No damages, royalties, or injunctive relief were disclosed.
