Nitetek Licensing LLC v. Samsara Networks Inc.

In December, IP Edge LLC plaintiff Nitetek Licensing LLC expanded its sole litigation campaign with a suit against Beijer Electronics (Westermo Data Communications) (1:20-cv-07629) in the Northern District of Illinois, followed by separate District of Delaware cases against Samsara Networks (1:20-cv-01750) and TVU Networks (1:20-cv-01751). The asserted patent, originating with Panasonic, generally relates to selecting a spreading code for asymmetric communications. The defendants are accused of infringement through the provision of devices (i.e., gateways and routers) that support 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) networking capabilities.
