After a slight delay caused by another round of Central Texas ice storms last week, trial before Judge Albright in Case No. 6:20-cv-00108-ADA, ParkerVision, Inc. v. Intel Corp. is scheduled to begin today. Our understanding is that jury selection is presently proceeding before Judge Manske, with openings presumed to follow. The docket order resetting jury selection from last week to this morning didn’t specify what time openings would be, but it’s typically been 1PM or 1:30PM for Judge Albright’s cases in which the jury is selected in the morning.
Trial is scheduled for a brisk 12 hours per side, excluding openings and summations (and the notice of trial procedures expressly provides, “Trial should be complete on Friday”).
Here are the public dial-in credentials, from the Court’s notice of trial procedures:
- +1 669 254 5252 or +1 646 828 7666 or +1 551 285 1373 or +1 669 216 1590

UPDATE: The case settled on February 7, before the second day of trial. Presumably not coincidentally, plaintiff ParkerVision issued an SEC filing disclosing that it had on that same day “entered into a patent license and settlement agreement with a third-party and expects to receive a payment of $25,000,000.”
