6:21-cv-00322 is a patent infringement action brought by Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. against Lite-On Technology, Corp., filed on 2 Apr 2021 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The case closed on 17 July 2023.

US10411156B2 (“Device with transparent and higher conductive regions in lateral cross section of semiconductor layer”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., currently active; US6841809B2 (“Heterostructure semiconductor device”), assigned to NITEK, INC., currently inactive; US10460952B2 (“Stress relieving semiconductor layer”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.; US9923117B2 (“Semiconductor structure with inhomogeneous regions”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.; US9042420B2 (“Device with transparent and higher conductive regions in lateral cross section of semiconductor layer”), assigned to NITEK, INC.; US10147848B2 (“Contact configuration for optoelectronic device”), assigned to NITEK, INC.; US10854785B2 (“Contact configuration for optoelectronic device”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.; US9966496B2 (“Light emitting heterostructure with partially relaxed semiconductor layer”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.; US9330906B2 (“Stress relieving semiconductor layer”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.; US8552562B2 (“Profiled contact for semiconductor device”), assigned to SENSOR ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.. The record also lists Contact configuration for optoelectronic device, Device with transparent and higher conductive regions in lateral cross section of semiconductor layer, Heterostructure semiconductor device, Light emitting heterostructure with partially relaxed semiconductor layer, Profiled contact for semiconductor device, Semiconductor structure with inhomogeneous regions and Stress relieving semiconductor layer.

The recorded basis of termination is dismissed with prejudice. The termination text reads: “Before the court is the Parties’ Joint Motion and Stipulation of Dismissal. Having considered the Parties’ Motion, the Court finds that the Motion should be granted. It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Parties’ Motion and Stipulation of Dismissal s hereby GRANTED and that all claims and counterclaims be, and hereby are, dismissed with prejudice, with each party to bear its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.”

A dismissal with prejudice permanently ends the claims that were filed, so the same claims cannot be brought again against that defendant. It is the usual form when the parties have settled.

836 calendar days, from filing on 2 Apr 2021 to closure on 17 July 2023.

Chief Judge Alan D Albright presided. David C. Radulescu, Etai Lahav, Jonathan Auerbach, Kevin S. Kudlac and Michael Sadowitz are recorded as counsel for plaintiff Sensor Electronic Technology. Brian Christopher Nash, Brock S. Weber, Christopher Kao, David J. Tsai and Steven P. Tepera appear for defendant Lite-On Technology.
