The complaint

Volteon LLC v. Marposs S.p.A., No. 2:26-cv-00998 (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division), is a three-page complaint filed November 4, 2026, with a jury demand. It describes Volteon as a corporation organized under the laws of Texas with its principal place of business in Marshall, Texas, and Marposs as a corporation organized and existing under the laws of "Foreign" with an established place of business in Bentivoglio, Italy. It pleads an action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws, Title 35, and exclusive subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a). It alleges personal jurisdiction because Marposs has engaged in systematic and continuous business activities in the district. It alleges that Marposs has committed acts of patent infringement giving rise to this action within the district. It alleges that venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. 1391(c) because Marposs is a foreign corporation, and it alleges that Marposs has committed acts of patent infringement in the district and that Volteon has suffered harm there.

The patent-in-suit

Paragraph 8 alleges that Volteon is the assignee of all right, title and interest in "United States Patent No. and (the 'Patent-in-Suit')," including all rights to enforce and prosecute actions for infringement and to collect damages for all relevant times against infringers of the Patent-in-Suit. It alleges that Volteon possesses the exclusive right and standing to prosecute this action for infringement of the Patent-in-Suit by Marposs.

Jury demand and relief

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 38(b), the complaint requests a trial by jury on all issues so triable. Volteon asks for an accounting of all damages not presented at trial, a judgment declaring the case exceptional within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. 285 and awarding its reasonable attorneys' fees against Marposs incurred in prosecuting the action, an award of its costs and expenses incurred in prosecuting the action, and such further relief at law or in equity as the court deems just and proper.
