FlickIntelligence, LLC

FlickIntelligence, LLC has sued Microsoft (6:24-cv-00079), NXP Semiconductors (NXP USA) (6:24-cv-00080), and Unity Software (6:24-cv-00082) over the provision of the Windows Mixed Reality VR (“virtual reality”) headset, NXP’s augment reality (AR) systems, and Unity’s AR platform, respectively. A single patent—generally related to displaying information about a “scene element” on a “secondary display” of an AR device—is asserted in these latest Western District of Texas complaints. Meta, sued by FlickIntelligence this past September, has filed a motion to dismiss for pleading inadequacies and on patent eligibility grounds.

FlickIntelligence, LLC, an entity associated with Ortiz & Lopez, PLLC (d/b/a OL PATENTS), has expanded its sole litigation campaign, launched in December 2021, with separate suits against Meta Platforms (f/k/a Facebook) (6:23-cv-00655) and Netmarble (Jam City) (6:23-cv-00653) in the Western District of Texas. The sole asserted patent generally relates to displaying information about a “scene element” on a “secondary display” of an augmented reality device, with infringement allegations targeting the support of augmented reality tools in Meta’s Passthrough API and Jam City’s various videogames.

FlickIntelligence, LLC appears to have sued Activision Blizzard (Activision Publishing) (6:23-cv-00050), Alphabet (Google) (6:23-cv-00051), and Apple (6:23-cv-00057) in separate Western District of Texas complaints. Two patents generally related to “displaying additional information about a scene element displayed in a frame of video content” are asserted, with infringement allegations targeting, for Activision, the support for multiplayer functionalities in the Call of Duty: Mobile game; for Google, the support for certain augmented reality (AR) tools in its Pixel-series smartphones; and for Apple, the provision of ARKit in certain iPhones and iPads. The plaintiff has now four times pleaded that it is a Texas LLC, but Texas records do not support that assertion; rather, it appears that FlickIntelligence is a New Mexico LLC associated with a set of figures familiar to patent monetization.
