Late last year, Multimedia Technologies Pte. Ltd. opened up new litigation over a portfolio of patents received from Flex (f/k/a Flextronics) by suing LG Electronics (LGE) in the Eastern District of Texas. Now, the plaintiff, which is backed by a third-party litigation funder, has sued a second defendant in the same venue, accusing VIZIO (2:23-cv-00124) of infringing an overlapping set of ten patents from that portfolio through the provision of a variety of features—remote control functionalities, navigation bar tools, and media content formatting and delivery, among others—within smart TVs that incorporate SmartCast.
