Apple is no stranger to patent infringement lawsuits from patent trolls, and one that slipped under the radar since its start in 2021 has resurfaced. Red Rock Analytics, a non-practicing entity and known patent troll, filed a lawsuit with Apple and Qualcomm over U.S. Patent No. 7,346,313 in Texas.
According to a report from Law360, Apple and Qualcomm were denied their appeal to move the lawsuit to California by both the U.S. District Judge Alan Albright and the Federal Circuit Court. So, the lawsuit will be carried out in the patent troll-friendly Texas courts instead.
