USTA Technology LLC

USTA Technology LLC is a Delaware-formed intellectual property licensing company, established on January 19, 2018. It operates as a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE), also identified as an entity of Oso IP, LLC. The company states it has no parent corporation, and no publicly held corporation owns 10% or more of its stock. While its headquarters are not explicitly stated as a separate entity, it provides a Longview, Texas address that has been associated with Oso IP, LLC.

USTA Technology LLC's operations are focused on intellectual property licensing. Its patent portfolio comprises three patent families with eighteen assets, primarily covering technologies related to the current WiFi wireless standard, including 802.11ac. These patents involve technologies such as spectrum-adaptive networking, directional carrier sense medium access for wireless nodes, and systems for three-dimensional antenna selection and power control. The company's management has a decade of experience in patent licensing and enforcement.

In terms of patent litigation, USTA Technology LLC is primarily known as a patent assertion entity. While the provided data shows one tracked case where it is a defendant in a USPTO ex parte reexamination proceeding initiated by Unified Patents, its broader litigation history indicates numerous instances where it has acted as a plaintiff in district court patent infringement lawsuits. It has asserted its Wi-Fi-related patents against major technology companies including Google, AT&T, ASUS, Lenovo, LG, Samsung, and Motorola Mobility, with cases frequently filed in the Eastern and Northern Districts of Texas.

A notable case reflecting its patent posture is the ex parte reexamination proceeding initiated by Unified Patents against U.S. Patent RE 47,720, owned by USTA Technology LLC, which relates to a method of spectrum-adaptive networking using the 802.11 standard. This patent has been asserted in multiple infringement suits. Several of USTA Technology's plaintiff cases against companies like Google, LG, and Motorola Mobility, often filed in Texas, were dismissed voluntarily without prejudice before the defendants answered, leaving open the possibility of refiling. For instance, a suit against Google in the Western District of Texas was transferred to the Northern District of California before being dismissed.
