The complaint

The case is Mingoe Consulting LLC v. Micro-Star International Co., Ltd., No. 2:26-cv-00849 (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division), filed September 18, 2026, ECF No. 1 (9 pages). The complaint demands a jury trial. Mingoe Consulting LLC, which the complaint describes as a Texas limited liability company, alleges it is the sole and exclusive owner of U.S. Patent 8,407,411. The complaint describes the defendant as organized under the laws of Taiwan and pleads venue under the alien-venue rule of 28 U.S.C. 1391(c)(3).

What the patent covers

U.S. Patent 8,407,411, titled Operation Frequency Adjusting System and Method, issued March 26, 2013, from an application filed June 28, 2010. Claim 1 recites an operation frequency adjusting system with a statistic module that counts effective operations of a Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM), a parameter configuration module that generates a target operation frequency according to that count, and a frequency switch controller that switches the DRAM from its present operation frequency to the target operation frequency. (Compl. paras. 9 to 11; U.S. Patent 8,407,411 claim 1.)

What the lawsuit alleges

Mingoe alleges that the accused products are MSI Aegis RS 14th desktop configurations containing an unlocked 14th-generation Intel Core processor, an Intel Z790 motherboard and compatible BIOS implementing Intel Dynamic Memory Boost, and XMP-certified DDR5 memory, with the Aegis RS 14NUF9-622US configured with Dynamic Memory Boost enabled as an exemplar. It alleges that, when Intel Dynamic Memory Boost is enabled, the accused systems count DRAM-use operations, select a target memory frequency from that statistic, and switch the DRAM to the target frequency. (Compl. paras. 15 to 18 and 22.)

The complaint pleads four counts: direct infringement of at least claim 1 (Count I), willful infringement (Count II), induced infringement (Count III), and contributory infringement (Count IV). It alleges, on information and belief, that MSI's infringement is and will be willful at least from the filing and service of the complaint, and alternatively that MSI has a policy or practice against investigating third-party patent rights. The inducement count points to product manuals for the PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI motherboard and MSI utilities and marketing that, it alleges, instruct users to enable XMP 3.0 and related memory-tuning features. The prayer seeks damages of no less than a reasonable royalty, treble damages, fees if the case is found exceptional, and a permanent injunction to the extent permitted by law and equity. (Compl. Counts I to IV; Prayer.)

On marking, the complaint alleges that neither Mingoe nor its predecessors made or sold a patented article during the damages period, and alleges, on information and belief, that it has had no licensees who did. It identifies its only other pending U.S. enforcement action on the '411 patent as No. 2:25-cv-770 (E.D. Tex.). Mingoe filed a second complaint on the same patent the same day, No. 2:26-cv-00848 (E.D. Tex.). (Compl. paras. 12 to 14.)
