SIMO Holdings Inc. owns U.S. Patent No. 9,736,689, which describes apparatuses and methods that allow indi- viduals to reduce roaming charges on cellular networks when traveling outside their home territory . SIMO sued Hong Kong uC loudlink Network Technology Limited and uCloudlink (America), Ltd. (collectively, uCloudlink) for in- fringement, alleging that four uCloudlink products came within claim 8 of the ’689 patent (as well as dependent claims that present no separate issues on appeal).
