Recent Developments
- A patent settlement and license agreement was reached with Hisense in November 2022 which is expected to resolve the outstanding litigation between the parties.
- The Company's opening appellate brief was filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CFAC) in August 2022 to appeal the decisions of the Florida district court in ParkerVision v. Qualcomm.
- The jury trial in ParkerVision v. Intel is scheduled to begin February 6, 2023 in the Western District of Texas.
- New infringement cases against MediaTek and Realtek, along with a second case against TCL, were filed in November 2022 in the Western District of Texas.
- Sanford (Sandy) Litvack joined the ParkerVision board of directors in October 2022.
Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have settled our infringement actions against Hisense which represents our third settlement and license agreement over the past 18 months. We are preparing for a jury trial in Waco, Texas that is now twelve weeks away in our infringement case against Intel for use of our technologies in their wireless cellular chips. We continue to expand the enforcement of the unauthorized use of our technologies and have recently filed new infringement actions against MediaTek and Realtek of Taiwan as well as an additional action against Chinese SmartTV company TCL.
"In addition, we filed our appellate brief with the CACF in August and anticipate Qualcomm's response to our brief to be filed in mid-November. We then will have the opportunity to file a reply brief after which the CFAC will set a hearing date."
Parker continued, "We are thrilled with the addition of Sandy Litvack to our board of directors. Sandy joins the board at a time where we are seeing a flurry of activity culminating from our efforts over the past two years, and we believe his corporate and legal background will provide us valuable guidance as we move forward."
