Flexiworld Technologies sued Sony in the Eastern District of Texas asserting infringement of wireless output/smart device patents; the Stanford NPE Litigation Database maps US10133527 to this case. The action was dismissed with prejudice by joint stipulation under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) in May 2025, with no merits ruling. Other litigation summaries list different asserted patent sets that do not include 10133527, creating a conflict as to whether 10133527 remained asserted.

Patent-infringement action under 35 U.S.C. § 271 filed April 29, 2021. A report on determination of action (closing) and order dismissing civil action was entered February 2, 2022.
