A Canadian company (Wi-Lan Inc.) is reportedly bringing action against up to 22 firms for infringing its wireless fidelity (wi-fi) and digital subscriber line (DSL) related patent portfolio.
The companies who are facing the legal action include some of the biggest in the IT industry, such as Dell and Intel.
The case has reportedly been brought in the Eastern District of Texas Court, which has a reputation for setting quick timetables for patent disputes, and some commentators think that the Court generally favours patent owners.
