Ningde Amperex Technology Limited v. Zhuhai CosMX Battery Co., Ltd. et al, No. 2:22-cv-00232 (E.D. Tex. Jan. 31, 2024)

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.

The Court issues this Order sua sponte . The parties dispute whether CosMX’s California Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”) claim can and should be tried to the jury in the upcoming trial in this case. (Dkt. No. 290-9 at 30; Dkt. No. 306-3 at 73.) ATL contends that UCL claims cannot be tried to a jury as a matter of law. (Dkt. No. 290- 9 at 30.) CosMX contends that “significant overlap” in factual disputes in the federal and state antitrust counterclaims makes it appropriate and efficient to submit the UCL counter claim to the jury.
