Entropic Communications, LLC v. Charter Communications, Inc. et al, No. 2:22-cv-00125 (E.D. Tex. Dec. 8, 2023)

Entropic Communications LLC previously filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment That Devices With MaxLinear Chips Are Not Non-Infringing Alternatives Affecting the Reasonable Royalty Rate (Dkt. No. 179.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 349), recommending granting-in-part and denial-in-part of Entropic’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment That Devices With MaxLinear Chips Are Not Non-Infringing Alternatives Affecting the Reasonable Royalty Rate. Charter has now filed Objections (Dkt. No. 375).

After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment That Devices With MaxLinear Chips Are Not Non-Infringing Alternatives Affecting the Reasonable Royalty Rate, the Report and Recommendation, and the briefing on Charter’s Objections, the Court agrees with the reasoning provided within the Report and Recommendation and concludes that the Objections fail to show that the Report and Recommendation was erroneous. Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Charters Objections and ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and orders that the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment That Devices With MaxLinear Chips Are Not Non-Infringing Alternatives Affecting the Reasonable Royalty2 Rate (Dkt. No. 172) is GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART as provided in the Report and Recommendation.
