Nova Intellectual Solutions, LLC

Nova Intellectual Solutions LLC added three suits to its campaign, with filings against BlackBerry (3:15-cv-01299), Sharp (3:15-cv-01300) , and Sony (3:15-cv-01302). The suits assert a single patent (8,208,517) that generally relates to communication over a mobile hotspot. The patent-in-suit was previously asserted against ZTE in April of this year. It is also in the same family as a patent Nova began asserting in 2010 (7,319,715). Several other patents that concern communication over a wireless modem are asserted in Nova’s campaign.

Nova Intellectual Solutions, LLC (NIS) files its first patent assertion suits as a solo plaintiff, suing Franklin Wireless (3:15-cv-00912) and ZTE (3:15-cv-00911). Both cases assert the 7,944,901 patent, and the suit against ZTE asserts an additional patent, 8,208,517. The patents-in-suit concern communication over a mobile hotspot. At issue in the lawsuits are modems and data hotspots made by defendants.
