The patent-in-suit was assigned to eDekka in September 2013, less than a week after the entity was formed in Texas. eDekka began filing suits shortly thereafter. 4/23, Texas Eastern District Court, 2:14cv00398, 2:14cv00400, 2:14cv00402, 2:14cv00403, 2:14cv00404, 2:14cv00405, 2:14cv00406, 2:14cv00407, 2:14cv00408, 2:14cv00409, 2:14cv00410, 2:14cv00411, 2:14cv00412, 2:14cv00413, 2:14cv00414, 2:14cv00415, 2:14cv00416, 2:14cv00417, 2:14cv00418, 2:14cv00419 , 2:14cv00420 , 2:14cv00421, 2:14cv00422, 2:14cv00423, 2:14cv00424, 2:14cv00425,
