Secure Cam, LLC v. VTech Electronics North America, L.L.C.

In the first of its two litigation campaigns, Secure Cam, LLC has focused its infringement allegations more squarely against VOXX International in a Northern District of California case (5:18-cv-02335) while adding a new suit, against VTech (1:18-cv-03375), in the Northern District of Illinois. The NPE filed an amended complaint in a suit brought this past April against Project Nursery that swaps out that defendant for VOXX Accessories, pleading that the latter makes the baby monitors for sale by Project Nursery. The VTech case also targets a long list of that company’s baby monitors. Both complaints assert a single patent generally related to transmitting video images over a network.

Secure Cam, LLC, an NPE formed in Wyoming last July, has filed its first lawsuit, suing Project Nursery (5:18-cv-02335), a San Francisco-based company established by two friends “who set out to help parents find the vision, tools, and products for all their baby nursery and kid-friendly decorating projects”. Project Nursery notes that its brand “now includes various licensed products such as [its] exciting new line of nursery electronics, including the Project Nursery Baby Monitor and Sight & Sound Projector (a Techlicious Best of CES Award-winning joint venture with VOXX International)”, available through various retailers. The company now accused of infringing one patent, generally related to transmitting video images over a network, through the manufacture and sale of some of those baby monitors.
