This list demonstrates a clear pattern of litigation that began in 2021 and has significantly accelerated through 2025 and into the current year, 2026. The cases are primarily concentrated in the Eastern District of Texas and the District of Delaware, which are common venues for patent litigation. Most of the recent cases filed in late 2025 and 2026 are still in their early stages. The patent itself expired on June 12, 2024, as noted in its legal status information; therefore, these infringement actions are for damages that allegedly occurred prior to that expiration date.
