Mediatek Inc. et al v. NXP Semiconductors N.V. et al

Case Summary

On June 17, 2021, MediaTek Inc. and MediaTek USA Inc. (“MediaTek” or “Plaintiffs”) represented by Kevin P. B. Johnson of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan LLP filed an intellectual property lawsuit against NXP Semiconductors N.V. and NXP USA, Inc. (collectively, “NXP”), Avnet, Inc. (“Avnet”), Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”), Denso Ten Limited and others (collectively, “Defendants”), seeking damages along with prejudgment and post judgement interest among other reliefs for the alleged infringement of the United States patents of the Plaintiff. The case was filed in the United States District Court in the Central District of California.

The Plaintiff filed this complaint for the alleged infringement of the U.S. Patent No. 6,738,845 (the “’845 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 6,823,451 (the “’451 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 8,464,037 (the “’037 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,265,056, (the “’056 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,538,531 (the “’531 patent”), and U.S. Patent No. 10,211,948 (the “’948 patent”) (collectively, “the Asserted Patents” or “Patents-in-suit”) owned by them. 

In the complaint, the Plaintiff alleged that, “In violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), Defendants identified in the Complaint have infringed the ’037 patent by making, using, selling, offering for sale, and/or importing into the United States, without authority, the Accused ’037 NXP Products which practice each and every limitation of at least claim 19 of the ’037 patent. Defendants have infringed literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents.”

Further, the Plaintiff alleged that, “NXP has had knowledge of the ’037 patent and its infringement of the ’037 Patent at least since the service of this complaint” and “NXP has contributed to the infringement by its customers of the ’037 Patent by, without authority, importing, selling and offering to sell within the United States materials and apparatuses for practicing the claimed invention of the ’037 patent both inside and outside the United States.”

The Plaintiff also alleged that, “Defendants’ infringement of the ’037 patent has been and continues to be willful. Defendants have had knowledge of the ’037 patent and its infringement of the ’037 patent at least since the service of this complaint. Defendants have deliberately continued to infringe in a wanton, malicious, and egregious manner, with reckless disregard for MediaTek’s patent rights.”

Similar allegations have been made by the Plaintiff with reference to the infringement of other Patents-in-suit. 

Other than these allegations, the Plaintiff also alleged that the Defendants other than NXP “uses, imports, offers for sale, and/or sells at least one of the Accused ’451 NXP products and the Accused ’037 NXP products at least by selling and offering to sell the Accused ’451 NXP Products and the Accused ’037 NXP products as part of their own products in the United States.”

There are six claims for relief laid down by the Plaintiff, one for the alleged infringement of each of the Patents-in-suit.  

In the prayer for relief, the Plaintiff has requested the Court to declare that Defendants have infringed the asserted patents, and award damages for the alleged infringement of the Asserted Patents pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284 along with prejudgment and post judgement interests. The Plaintiff also requested the Court to grant an award to Plaintiff for its attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to 35 U.S.C.§ 285 and any other relief the Court deems just and equitable.
