AGIS Software Development LLC filed suit against L3 Harris Technologies Inc. on July 29, 2024, in the Eastern District of Texas before Judge Rodney Gilstrap — one of the nation’s most patent-active benches. AGIS asserted five U.S. patents (US9445251B2, US8213970B2, US9467838B2, US9749829B2, and US9820123B2) covering mobile device location sharing, push-to-talk communication, and situational awareness mapping. The accused products included L3Harris’s BeOn system, Location Services platform, RO-MAP, and Situational Awareness Mapping solutions — all mission-critical communications tools used in defense and public safety contexts.

On November 18, 2024, just 112 days after filing, the parties submitted a Joint Motion to Dismiss requesting that all claims be dismissed with prejudice and that each party bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. Judge Gilstrap granted the motion the same day. A dismissal with prejudice is a final adjudication on the merits for claim-preclusion purposes: AGIS cannot re-file the same claims against L3 Harris on these five patents. The fact that no fee-shifting was ordered and the motion was joint strongly suggests the parties reached a confidential resolution — likely a license or covenant not to sue — rather than a unilateral withdrawal by AGIS.

The 112-day resolution is notably swift even by E.D. Texas standards, where pre-trial schedules typically run 18–24 months. This accelerated timeline, combined with the simultaneous closure of two related member cases (2:24-CV-00662 and 2:24-CV-00663) involving Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and HP Inc., suggests coordinated negotiation across multiple defendants. The lead case (2:24-CV-00601) remains open, indicating AGIS’s broader litigation campaign against other parties continues. The public record is silent on any financial terms.
