Lit v. Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated DC

Inventor Samuel Lit has filed another round of cases in the campaign that he began back in July 2016, hitting Caterpillar (1:18-cv-02056), Dover (1:18-cv-02057), Jones Lang LaSalle (1:18-cv-02059), Lenovo (Motorola Mobility) (1:18-cv-02060), and Ulta Beauty (1:18-cv-02061). The complaints again assert a single patent generally related to an interactive image carousel, targeting the defendants’ use of display carousels on their respective websites. The new suits join open cases against ACE Hardware (filed last October) and InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) (filed in December 2016).

Inventor Samuel Lit has doubled the size of his sole litigation campaign, asserting a single patent (8,793,330) generally related to an interactive image carousel against American Airlines (1:16-cv-11065), Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) (1:16-cv-11068), InterContinental Hotels Group (1:16-cv-11066), Kraft Heinz (1:16-cv-11067), and Microsoft (1:16-cv-11069). These latest filings come after Lit’s first wave of lawsuits in July, which targeted Apple (1:16-cv-07048), Comcast (1:16-cv-07050), Shutterfly (1:16-cv-07052), Walgreen (1:16-cv-07053), and Zazzle (1:16-cv-07054) over the same patent. As in that initial round of complaints, Lit’s newest targets are also accused of infringement through the display carousels used on their respective websites.
