The case was dismissed with prejudice by stipulation of all parties on January 10, 2025, under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). No merits adjudication occurred. Each party bears its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees. The dismissal permanently bars the plaintiffs from reasserting the same claims against the named Samsung defendants.

Five U.S. patents were asserted: US10986585B2, US10187878B2, US10104658B2, US10785759B2, and US11291052B2. All relate to 4G and 5G wireless communication technologies. The accused products included Samsung Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches. No claim construction or validity ruling was issued before the case resolved.

Dismissal with prejudice means ASUS Technology Licensing and Celerity IP are permanently barred from re-filing these specific infringement claims against Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics America, and Samsung Research America. The underlying patents remain valid and enforceable against other parties, but these plaintiffs cannot revive this action against these defendants.

ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. appears to have been joined as a counterclaim-defendant by Samsung, likely in response to the plaintiffs’ infringement claims. ASUSTeK’s inclusion in the final stipulated dismissal suggests the resolution may have addressed the broader commercial or IP relationship between the ASUS corporate family and Samsung, though specific terms are not disclosed in the public record.

Yes. A dismissal with prejudice resolves only the claims between these specific parties. The five patents — US10986585B2, US10187878B2, US10104658B2, US10785759B2, and US11291052B2 — remain in force and were not invalidated by any court or PTAB proceeding in this case. Patent holders retain the right to assert them against other defendants in future proceedings.
