Pegasus Wireless v. Verizon: 11-Patent 5G Infringement Suit Dismissed With Prejudice

Pegasus Wireless Innovation filed a sprawling 5G wireless patent infringement action against Verizon and affiliated entities in the Eastern District of Texas, asserting 11 patents across a broad portfolio of 5G-capable devices. After 720 days of litigation, all parties jointly moved to dismiss every claim with prejudice, with each side bearing its own costs — a resolution that bars Pegasus from re-filing these claims against Verizon.

Case overview

A sweeping 5G patent campaign ends in coordinated dismissal across three parallel cases

Pegasus Wireless Innovation, LLC filed this action on December 29, 2023 in the Eastern District of Texas before Judge Rodney Gilstrap, asserting 11 wireless and 5G-related patents against Verizon Communications, Inc. and four affiliated Verizon entities — Verizon Corporate Services Group Inc., Cellco Partnership (d/b/a Verizon Wireless), Verizon Business Network Services, LLC, and TracFone Wireless, Inc. The accused products spanned Verizon’s mobile network and a wide range of 5G-capable handsets sold on the Verizon network, including Google Pixel, Motorola, Kyocera, TCL, and Nokia devices.

On December 18, 2025, the Court granted nine joint motions to dismiss filed collectively by all parties under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). All of Pegasus’s infringement claims were dismissed with prejudice — permanently extinguishing those claims — while the defendants’ noninfringement counterclaims were dismissed without prejudice. Verizon’s counterclaims for breach of contract, failure to negotiate in good faith, and declaratory judgment of breach of FRAND obligations were also dismissed with prejudice. Each party was ordered to bear its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

The 720-day duration and the coordinated nature of the dismissal across three parallel cases (also involving AT&T and T-Mobile as defendants) strongly suggests a negotiated resolution — likely a licensing agreement or covenant not to sue — reached outside the public record. The simultaneous filing of nine joint motions across all three dockets signals a structured settlement rather than an abandonment of the litigation by Pegasus. The specific financial terms, if any, remain undisclosed. The FRAND counterclaims being dismissed with prejudice is notable: it suggests the parties resolved any SEP licensing disputes as part of their broader agreement.

Dismissed with prejudice: what the joint motion outcome means for both parties

Legal mechanism

Rule 41(a)(2) dismissal with prejudice — claims permanently extinguished

A dismissal with prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2) operates as a final adjudication on the merits. Pegasus cannot re-file these infringement claims against Verizon on the same patents in any court. The joint nature of the motion means both sides consented, which is consistent with a negotiated resolution. The without-prejudice dismissal of noninfringement counterclaims preserves those defendants’ theoretical right to re-raise noninfringement if litigation resurfaces on other grounds.

Permanent bar on re-filing
Patent holder outcome

Pegasus loses the right to re-litigate these claims against Verizon

With all of its claims dismissed with prejudice, Pegasus Wireless Innovation is permanently barred from asserting these 11 patents against Verizon on the same accused products and conduct. However, the patents themselves remain in force against other parties. The dismissal without prejudice of defendants’ noninfringement counterclaims also means no court has formally declared the patents invalid or not infringed — preserving some portfolio value for Pegasus against third parties.

Portfolio intact vs. third parties
Defendant outcome

Verizon obtains finality — FRAND counterclaims resolved with prejudice

Verizon and its affiliates secured dismissal with prejudice of Pegasus’s claims, shielding them from re-litigation on these patents. Verizon’s own FRAND-related counterclaims — breach of contract, failure to negotiate in good faith, and declaratory judgment of breach of FRAND — were also dismissed with prejudice, which suggests the FRAND licensing dispute was resolved as part of the broader settlement. Noninfringement counterclaims were preserved without prejudice, giving Verizon optionality if Pegasus pursues related claims.

FRAND dispute resolved
Commercial implications

SEP licensing campaign across major US carriers resolved simultaneously

This case was one of three parallel actions filed on the same date targeting AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon simultaneously — a hallmark of coordinated SEP or near-SEP licensing campaigns. The coordinated dismissal across all three dockets, with FRAND counterclaims dismissed with prejudice, suggests Pegasus reached licensing agreements with all three major US carriers. Companies operating in the 5G device and infrastructure supply chain should treat this portfolio as potentially licensed-out but still active against unlicensed parties.

The verdict order grants nine joint Rule 41(a)(2) motions filed simultaneously across three parallel cases. The bifurcated dismissal structure — with-prejudice for all of Pegasus’s affirmative claims and FRAND counterclaims, without-prejudice for noninfringement counterclaims — is a deliberate drafting choice consistent with a negotiated exit. The with-prejudice disposition forecloses re-litigation by Pegasus on these patents against these defendants, while preserving defendants’ noninfringement positions for any future context. The equal costs order removes any inference of a prevailing party.

The 11 patents asserted in this case — spanning application numbers from US15/024862 through US17/314064 — cover wireless network technology broadly aligned with 4G LTE and 5G NR standards, including resource scheduling, channel configuration, device connectivity management, and signal transmission protocols. The portfolio appears to have been built through continuation and divisional filings across multiple application families, with priority dates ranging across the mid-2010s to early 2020s. This filing pattern is characteristic of portfolios designed to track standards evolution and capture implementers of 3GPP-compliant technology.

The breadth of accused products — spanning Google Pixel, Motorola, Kyocera, TCL, and Nokia 5G handsets, plus Verizon’s mobile network itself — indicates Pegasus’s theory of infringement reached both network infrastructure and end-user devices. This dual-level assertion strategy, targeting both carriers and device OEMs, is increasingly common in 5G SEP campaigns. Any company manufacturing, importing, or operating 5G-capable devices or infrastructure in the US should treat this portfolio as potentially relevant to their FTO landscape, particularly given that no validity or infringement ruling was issued.

Freedom to operate

Should your team run an FTO against the Pegasus Wireless 5G patent portfolio?

If your organisation designs, manufactures, imports, or deploys 5G NR-compliant devices, network equipment, or wireless infrastructure in the United States, this 11-patent portfolio warrants FTO attention. The accused product list in this case covered a broad range of commercial 5G handsets sold through a major US carrier — meaning the claim scope likely tracks 3GPP standard-essential or near-essential implementations. MVNOs, device OEMs, and infrastructure vendors not party to Verizon’s apparent licensing resolution may face exposure.

PatSnap Eureka’s FTO Search Agent can map each of the 11 asserted patents against your product’s technical specifications, identify claim elements most likely to read on 5G NR implementations, and flag prosecution history estoppel or prior art that may limit claim scope. Eureka’s portfolio monitoring tools can also alert your team to new continuation filings from the Pegasus application families — critical in a portfolio that has already demonstrated a pattern of continuation-based expansion.

Strategic implications

What this case signals for the 5G wireless patent licensing landscape

A coordinated 11-patent assault on all three US major carriers, resolved in under two years, reveals the playbook and pressure points in 5G SEP assertion.

Coordinated multi-carrier filing is a proven SEP licensing lever

Filing simultaneously against AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon in E.D. Texas maximises negotiating pressure and signals portfolio confidence. The simultaneous resolution across all three dockets suggests a global licensing deal was the objective from the outset. Companies building 5G products or services should monitor PAE portfolios that follow this multi-carrier filing pattern as an early signal of structured licensing demands.

With-prejudice FRAND dismissals indicate a negotiated licensing outcome

When FRAND counterclaims — typically defendants’ strongest leverage against SEP holders — are dismissed with prejudice by joint motion, it strongly suggests the parties reached a licensing agreement satisfying FRAND obligations. The public record is silent on financial terms, but the structured nature of the nine joint motions is consistent with a comprehensive settlement covering all accused products and carriers.
