Longhorn IP litigation docket
Longhorn is a relatively active patent enforcer, including in the standard-essential patent (SEP) space. One of its affiliates (L2 Mobile Technologies) recently asserted two 4G SEPs against truck maker PACCAR in the Eastern District of Texas (July 19, 2025 ip fray article), while its affiliate Hannibal IP LLC filed a complaint in the Eastern District of Texas over 5G SEPs against Samsung in February, and its affiliate Katana was awarded $9.2 million in damages by the Western District of Texas for the alleged infringement of a semiconductor packaging-related patent (August 7, 2025 Fitch Even press release).
In a suit against Xiaomi, its subsidiary Ox Mobile Technologies LLC had asserted EP2068582 (“Handover access method based on random access channel”) at the Landgericht München I (Munich I Regional Court), although the infringement claims were dismissed in October 2024, and Xiaomi had the patent successfully invalidated by the German Federal Patent Court eight months later.
