On November 9, 2022, in Textile Computer Systems, Inc. v. Broadway National Bank d/b/a Broadway Bank, et al., Judge Albright denied non-party Unified Patents’ Motion to Quash subpoenas served by Plaintiff Textile Computer Systems, Inc. (“Textile”) on Unified Patents, LLC (“Unified Patents”).

Judge Albright announced his latest changes to his Order Governing Procedures (OGP). 

For the second day of the jury trial in VLSI Technologies v. Intel II, it became clear that as to both asserted patents, VLSI’s infringement allegations centered on the “FIVR,” or fully integrated voltage regulator, feature of the accused chips.
