Executive Summary
The Eastern District of Texas granted in part and denied in part Intellectual Ventures' motion to compel discovery against American Airlines in a patent infringement case involving 12 patents. The court ordered American to produce additional documents on third-party software usage, historical migration/configuration data, and LTE/Wi-Fi technology, but denied requests for public cloud cost data and additional Rule 30(b)(6) depositions. This is a routine discovery ruling with no final liability determination or damages award — a procedural step that leaves the case pending.
