Arizona Tribune - Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit Grants ParkerVision's Motion to Expedite Appeal in Qualcomm Patent Case

The court's order provides for an opening brief by ParkerVision no later than December 1, 2025; Qualcomm's response brief no later than January 16, 2026; ParkerVision's reply brief no later than February 6, 2026; and scheduling of oral arguments for the next available session after briefing is complete.

ParkerVision Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Parker commented, "We are extremely pleased that the appellate court has moved so swiftly to grant our motion to expedite this appeal which we believe will correct an error made by the district court and significantly shorten the remaining timeframe to trial in this long-standing case."

The appeal challenges the district court's May 2025 claim construction that added a "generating limitation" to ParkerVision's receiver patent claims - a construction the company believes contradicted the patents' plain language, ignored prior guidance from the Federal Circuit, and resulted in a stipulated summary judgement of non-infringement by Qualcomm of ParkerVision's receiver patent claims. The appeal is captioned ParkerVision, Inc. v. Qualcomm Incorporated, et al., Case No. 2026-1033, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
