May 15 (Reuters) - The California Institute of

Technology and Dell told a Texas federal court that they

have agreed to resolve Caltech's lawsuit claiming Dell infringes

the school's patents covering wireless-communications

technology.

Caltech and Dell said in a court filing with the U.S.

District Court for the Western District of Texas on Tuesday that

they would dismiss the case with prejudice, ending a string of

high-stakes Caltech patent lawsuits against tech companies over

Wi-Fi chips.

Representatives for Dell and Caltech did not immediately

respond on Wednesday to a request for comment and more

information, including on whether a settlement had been reached.

Caltech previously won a $1.1 billion jury verdict against

Apple ( AAPL ) and Broadcom ( AVGO ) in a dispute over some of

the same patents, though a U.S. appeals court later ordered a

retrial on the damages amount. The Pasadena, California

university has since settled that case as well as related

lawsuits against Samsung, Microsoft ( MSFT ), and HP

.

Caltech sued Round Rock, Texas-based Dell in 2020, alleging

that Wi-Fi technology in the company's laptops, desktops and

other products infringed the school's patents. Dell asked the

court in February to dismiss the case, arguing that the

university failed to establish that its products could have

infringed.

The case is California Institute of Technology v. Dell

Technologies Inc ( DELL ), U.S. District Court for the Western District

of Texas, No. 6:20-cv-01042.

For Caltech: James Asperger, Kevin Johnson, Todd Briggs and

Brian Biddinger of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan

For Dell: Sarah Frazier, James Dowd, Joseph Haag, Sonal

Mehta, Mark Selwyn, Joseph Mueller, Richard O'Neill and Cynthia

Vreeland of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr; Brian Nash of

Morrison & Foerster
