Parthenon Unified Memory Architecture LLC v. Apple Inc., No. 2:15-cv-00621 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 9, 2016)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Currently before the Court is Apple Inc.’s Motion for Leave to Join Acacia Research Group and Acacia Research Corporation (Dkt. No. 85). Apple moves the Court to order Plaintiff to join the Acacia entities as additional plaintiffs . Apple’s primary argument is that the Acacia entities are the alter egos of Plaintiff. Apple argues that Plaintiff is undercapitalized and that Apple might be unable to collect any fees and cost s it might be awarded against Plaintiff at the end of the litigation.
