Media Key LLC

Last month’s review of notable patent assignments considered the movement of assets from Avaya to Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC; from Level 3 Communications to Sandpiper CDN, LLC; from Seiko Epson to IPValue’s 138 East LCD Advancements Ltd. and Lumitek Display Technology Ltd.; from Transaction Security to a “BioCrypt Access”; from Fortress Investment Group LLC’s KIP Prod P1 LP to Prodea Automation LLC; from EMM Patents Ltd. to Empire IP LLC; from Siemens and Abdelsalam Helal to Rokiot USA LLC; and from Proxicom Wireless, LLC to Secure Communication Technologies, LLC. While a couple of these entities again feature prominently, this month’s review extends well beyond them to cover the movement of patents away from other operating companies, as well as within several repeat monetization players.

Identifying an errant state of formation, Media Key LLC has filed its first litigation, suing Amazon (2:24-cv-00143) in the Eastern District of Texas; F5 (2:24-cv-00279) in the Western District of Washington; LG Electronics (LGE) (1:24-cv-00204) and Microsoft (1:24-cv-00201) in the Western District of Texas; and Open Text (Micro Focus) (4:24-cv-00716) in the Southern District of Texas. The sole asserted patent generally relates to updating or revising a user’s content through a “keying application”, with the defendants accused of infringement over the support of content and/or software update tools in their various products.
