It is not a finding of infringement or a final validity judgment.

Six lithium-ion patents, with claim 1 of each charted against a Hithium 314Ah LFP cell. Assignment records show no assignment to Xiamen Ampack. A September 22, 2023 Board decision denied institution of IPR2023-00587 on the '987 patent. Willfulness is pleaded from notice of the complaint.
Seven ASSIA patents vs Xfinity cloud Wi-Fi management, xFi Pods mesh, the Xfinity app, and DOCSIS 3.1 features; injunction sought on all but the expired '996 patent.
