ASUSTek (6:23-cv-00178) is the latest defendant to be added to the litigation campaign that Hyperquery LLC—a plaintiff connected with a familiar patent monetization figure—launched in January 2023 with suits against HP, LG Electronics (LGE), and Samsung. In the new Western District of Texas complaint, the plaintiff asserts a single patent generally related to providing an optimized display of information on a device based on a user’s search query. ASUSTek is accused of infringement through the provision of smartphones that support a “pre-installed Google search engine” and “pre-installed Google Play Store”.
