What the complaint alleges
Velocity Communication Technologies, LLC sued Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that MSI infringes eleven patents by making, using, importing, and selling Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7-enabled devices (such as laptops, motherboards, and routers) that practice the 802.11ax standard. The complaint asserts that MSI’s U.S. subsidiary acts as its alter ego to import the accused products, and that MSI had knowledge of the patents through IEEE letters of assurance and prior lawsuits.
