Second Nunc Pro Tunc Transfer in Hand, a Texas VIAAS Tries Again

Now characterizing itself as “a Texas corporation located in Harris County, Texas”, VIAAS, Inc.—previously identifying itself as a Delaware corporation based in California—has sued Vivint (2:25-cv-01048), a subsidiary of NRG Energy, for a third time. A 2022 case in the Western District of Texas was dismissed for lack of standing, the court identifying breaks in the chains of title for the two patents-in-suit. VIAAS tried again in late 2024, suing Vivint in the Eastern District of Texas. Vivint moved to dismiss on the same basis, and VIAAS—now pleading that counsel for Vivint “alleged a further assignment issue for one of the patents-in-suit”—voluntarily dismissed that case without prejudice. VIAAS now presents an order from a Texas state court that purports to fix the chains of title here.
