Truesight Communications LLC v. ASUSTek Computer Inc. et al., No. 2:26-cv-01005 (E.D. Tex.), is a patent complaint filed November 6, 2026, in the Marshall Division with a jury demand. Truesight Communications LLC is a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Marshall, Texas. The complaint describes ASUSTek Computer Inc., on information and belief, as a company organized under the laws of Taiwan and ASUS Computer International as a California company, and alleges, on information and belief, that both do business in Texas and in the district. It pleads venue under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b), including, for ASUSTek Computer Inc., the rule that a defendant not resident in the United States may be sued in any district.

The patents and accused products

The complaint asserts four patents that Truesight says it owns: U.S. Patent 8,949,879, titled Access Controls for Known Content, issued February 3, 2015; U.S. Patent 8,898,803, titled Content and Identity Delivery System for Portable Playback of Content and Streaming Service Integration, issued November 25, 2014; U.S. Patent 9,595,300, titled Contextual Chapter Navigation, issued March 14, 2017; and U.S. Patent 8,745,749, titled Virtual Secure Digital Card, issued June 3, 2014. The USPTO copies of the patents list the same titles and issue dates.

The accused products include ASUS smartphones and tablets such as the Zenfone 11 Ultra, ROG Phone 9, ROG Phone 9 Pro, Zenfone 12 Ultra, and ASUS Pad (T3201), among other ASUS products. Count I walks through at least claim 4 of the '879 patent using Google Family Link content restrictions on the Zenfone 11 Ultra as an example of rating-based media access policies. Count II asserts at least claim 1 of the '803 patent against the Zenfone 11 Ultra with the Netflix mobile application, which the complaint says, on information and belief, comes preloaded on the accused products, alleging that streamed content can be downloaded and saved to the phone's SD card or equivalent internal storage along with the user's streaming account information. Count III asserts at least claim 1 of the '300 patent against chapter navigation in the YouTube mobile application, which the complaint says the Zenfone 11 Ultra includes as part of Google Mobile Services. Count IV asserts at least claim 1 of the '749 patent against the Zenfone 11 Ultra equipped with a UFS 4.0 memory module, which the complaint says generates a virtual secure digital card. These mappings are Truesight's allegations.

The counts

Each count alleges direct infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271, induced infringement, and contributory infringement under § 271(c). Truesight alleges, on information and belief, that ASUS's direct infringement includes testing, development, troubleshooting, and other use in the United States. It pleads knowledge at least as of the date of the complaint and, in the alternative, alleges on information and belief that ASUS was willfully blind through a policy of not reviewing the patents of others. For inducement, it points to user manuals and other instructional materials that, on information and belief, ASUS prepares or directs.

The prayer asks for a judgment of infringement, a permanent injunction under 35 U.S.C. § 283, damages of at least a reasonable royalty with interest and costs, a finding that the case is exceptional with attorneys' fees under § 285, and further relief. Truesight demands a jury trial.

Docket

The docket through November 6, 2026, lists the complaint, the patent/trademark form, a disclosure statement, notices of attorney appearance, summons requests, summons issued, a clerk's new-suit notice, and a minute entry assigning the case to District Judge Rodney Gilstrap. The same day, Truesight filed Nos. 2:26-cv-01004, 2:26-cv-01006, 2:26-cv-01007, 2:26-cv-01008, 2:26-cv-01010, and 2:26-cv-01012 (E.D. Tex.), whose complaints assert the same four patents. Truesight also litigated the same four patents in No. 2:23-cv-00643 (E.D. Tex.), which the court dismissed on October 29, 2025. Watch for service on the ASUS defendants and for their answer or Rule 12 motion. The case can end at any time, including by settlement or voluntary dismissal.
