It is important to note that while the Google Patents "Legal status" section indicates "Expired - Fee Related, expires 2028-02-06" and then lists "Lapse for failure to pay maintenance fees" on November 29, 2021, and "PATENT EXPIRED DUE TO NONPAYMENT OF MAINTENANCE FEES UNDER 37 CFR 1.362", the litigation records show activity beyond this lapse date. This discrepancy might be due to the nature of patent expiration not immediately impacting existing litigation, or the litigation dates reflecting the filing of the case rather than its entire lifespan.
