Kangxi Communication Technologies exhibits an active, two-way patent litigation posture, acting as both a plaintiff and a defendant in patent disputes. The company has been a plaintiff in one tracked case and a defendant in two, indicating it both asserts its patent rights and defends against infringement allegations. These cases have appeared before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

All three of the company's tracked patent litigation cases involve Skyworks Solutions Inc. as a direct counterparty. These include Kangxi Communication Technologies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. v. Skyworks Solutions Inc. before the PTAB in November 2024, and two defendant appearances in suits initiated by Skyworks Solutions, Inc. in the ITC and the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in July and May 2024, respectively. Notably, the ITC case lists "Grand Chip Labs Inc. et al." as defendants, referencing Kangxi's U.S. subsidiary.
