ParkerVision Asks Court to Delay Patent Infringement Trial Against Qualcomm Until Appeal of 2025 Claim Construction Order is Adjudicated
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) has filed a Rule 54(b) motion requesting the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida to enter final judgment on noninfringement of receiver claims in its patent infringement lawsuit against Qualcomm. The company also seeks to sever and stay remaining transmit claims pending appeal of the court's May 2025 claim construction order.
The motion follows the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's September 2024 reversal of a 2022 summary judgment order. The recent 2025 claim construction order, issued after Qualcomm's third claim construction request, prevents ParkerVision from asserting its receiver claims. The company aims to avoid potentially holding two separate trials and seeks immediate appellate review of the 2025 construction ruling.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) ha presentato una mozione ai sensi della Regola 54(b) chiedendo al Tribunale Distrettuale degli Stati Uniti per il Distretto Centrale della Florida di emettere un giudizio definitivo sulla non violazione delle rivendicazioni relative al ricevitore nel suo contenzioso per violazione di brevetto contro Qualcomm. L'azienda richiede inoltre di separare e sospendere le rivendicazioni rimanenti relative al trasmettitore in attesa dell'appello sull'ordine di interpretazione delle rivendicazioni emesso dal tribunale nel maggio 2025.
La mozione segue la decisione della Corte d'Appello per il Circuito Federale del settembre 2024 che ha annullato un ordine di giudizio sommario del 2022. Il recente ordine di interpretazione delle rivendicazioni del 2025, emesso dopo la terza richiesta di interpretazione di Qualcomm, impedisce a ParkerVision di far valere le sue rivendicazioni sul ricevitore. L'azienda mira a evitare la possibilità di dover affrontare due processi separati e cerca una revisione immediata in appello della decisione di interpretazione del 2025.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) ha presentado una moción bajo la Regla 54(b) solicitando al Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Medio de Florida que emita un fallo final sobre la no infracción de las reclamaciones relacionadas con el receptor en su demanda por infracción de patente contra Qualcomm. La compañía también busca separar y suspender las reclamaciones restantes relacionadas con el transmisor mientras se apela la orden de construcción de reclamaciones del tribunal de mayo de 2025.
La moción sigue a la revocación en septiembre de 2024 por parte del Tribunal de Apelaciones del Circuito Federal de una orden de juicio sumario de 2022. La reciente orden de construcción de reclamaciones de 2025, emitida tras la tercera solicitud de construcción de reclamaciones de Qualcomm, impide que ParkerVision haga valer sus reclamaciones sobre el receptor. La compañía pretende evitar la posibilidad de enfrentar dos juicios separados y busca una revisión inmediata en apelación de la decisión de construcción de 2025.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR)는 플로리다 중부 지방법원에 규칙 54(b)에 따른 동의를 요청하며, Qualcomm을 상대로 한 특허 침해 소송에서 수신기 관련 청구권 비침해에 대한 최종 판결을 내려줄 것을 청구했습니다. 또한, 2025년 5월 법원의 청구 해석 명령에 대한 항소가 진행되는 동안 나머지 송신기 관련 청구권을 분리하고 중지할 것을 요청하고 있습니다.
이번 동의 요청은 연방순회항소법원이 2024년 9월 2022년 요약판결 명령을 뒤집은 데 따른 것입니다. Qualcomm의 세 번째 청구 해석 요청 후 발행된 2025년 청구 해석 명령은 ParkerVision이 수신기 청구권을 주장하는 것을 막고 있습니다. 회사는 두 건의 별도 재판을 피하고 2025년 해석 판결에 대한 즉각적인 항소 심사를 원하고 있습니다.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) a déposé une requête en vertu de la règle 54(b) demandant au tribunal de district des États-Unis pour le district central de Floride de rendre un jugement définitif sur la non-contrefaçon des revendications relatives au récepteur dans son procès pour violation de brevet contre Qualcomm. La société cherche également à séparer et suspendre les revendications restantes concernant l'émetteur en attendant l'appel de l'ordonnance d'interprétation des revendications du tribunal de mai 2025.
Cette requête fait suite à l'annulation par la Cour d'appel du circuit fédéral en septembre 2024 d'une ordonnance de jugement sommaire de 2022. L'ordonnance récente d'interprétation des revendications de 2025, rendue après la troisième demande d'interprétation de Qualcomm, empêche ParkerVision de faire valoir ses revendications sur le récepteur. La société vise à éviter la tenue de deux procès distincts et sollicite un examen immédiat en appel de la décision d'interprétation de 2025.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) hat einen Antrag gemäß Regel 54(b) eingereicht und das US-Bezirksgericht für den Middle District of Florida gebeten, ein endgültiges Urteil über die Nichtverletzung der Empfängeransprüche in seiner Patentverletzungsklage gegen Qualcomm zu fällen. Das Unternehmen strebt außerdem an, die verbleibenden Senderansprüche abzutrennen und auszusetzen, bis die Berufung gegen die Auslegungsanordnung des Gerichts vom Mai 2025 entschieden ist.
Der Antrag folgt auf die Aufhebung eines summarischen Urteils aus dem Jahr 2022 durch das Berufungsgericht für den Federal Circuit im September 2024. Die jüngste Auslegungsanordnung von 2025, die nach Qualcomms dritter Auslegungsanfrage erlassen wurde, verhindert, dass ParkerVision seine Empfängeransprüche geltend macht. Das Unternehmen möchte zwei separate Prozesse vermeiden und strebt eine sofortige Berufungsüberprüfung der Auslegungsentscheidung von 2025 an.

- Court's 2025 claim construction order prevents ParkerVision from asserting receiver claims
- Legal proceedings have extended over 11 years without resolution
- Additional delays and legal costs likely due to appeal process
JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 26, 2025 / ParkerVision, Inc. (OTCQB:PRKR), a leader in wireless radio-frequency (RF) innovation, issued a statement regarding recent motions filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in its over 11-year patent infringement lawsuit against Qualcomm.
On June 25, 2025, ParkerVision filed a Rule 54(b) motion asking the district court to enter final judgment of noninfringement on its receiver claims and sever and stay all remaining claims (ie: the transmit claims) pending an appeal of the court's 2025 claim construction order. The 2025 claim construction order was issued in May 2025 after the district court granted Qualcomm's request for yet a third claim construction, on claim terms that had previously been undisputed. Qualcomm's request for a third claim construction, which was initially denied by the district court, and then allowed on a motion for reconsideration, followed ParkerVision's successful appeal of the district court's 2022 summary judgment order on these same patent claims. In September 2024, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") reversed the 2022 summary judgment order and remanded the case back to district court.
The 2025 claim construction order prevents the Company from asserting its receiver claims. An entry of final judgment by the court on the receiver claims, as requested, would allow ParkerVision to immediately appeal the 2025 claim construction ruling and avoid the inefficiency of potentially holding two separate trials, one for the remaining transmitter claims and, a second one for the receiver claims, if the CAFC again reverses the district court.
Qualcomm has filed a motion for partial summary judgment of noninfringement of the receiver claims based on this 2025 claim construction order; however, Qualcomm is not seeking entry of final judgment under Rule 54(b).
"The district court has not hesitated to criticize the inefficiency of this long-standing case," said Jeffrey Parker, CEO of ParkerVision. "By issuing a final judgment under Rule 54(b), the court would be acting efficiently by avoiding the possibility of two separate trials between the parties. We firmly believe the court's May 2025 claim construction ruling, resulting in a noninfringement read on our receiver patents, is in error, and it only makes sense to allow the Federal Circuit to opine on this dispute before proceeding to trial."
