IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

MARSHALL DIVISION

COGNIPOWER LLC, §

v. §

§ CASE NO. 2:23-CV-00160-JRG-RSP

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.,

§

and SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS

§

AMERICA, INC.,

§

Defendants.

ORDER

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“Defendants”) previously filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on Preclusion Issues (“Motion”) (Dkt. No. 566.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 625), recommending grant-in-part of Defendants’ Motion. CogniPower LLC (“Plaintiff”) has now filed Objections (Dkt. No. 629), with Defendants filing a Response and Objections (Dkt. No. 630.)

After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the Motion, the Report and Recommendation, and the briefing on the parties’ 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 the parties’ Objections and ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and orders that the Motion (Dkt. No. 566) is GRANTED as to dismissal of all infringement claims against the Samsung products containing the InnoSwitch3 chips, and DENIED as to the counterclaims of invalidity of the Asserted Patents.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 14th day of January, 2026.
