VPN Multicast Technologies LLC v. AT&T Inc. et al

Meetrix IP, LLC, a subsidiary of publicly traded NPE ITUS Corporation, has filed three new lawsuits, one each against Citrix (1:16-cv-01033), LogMeIn (1:16-cv-01034), and Polycom (1:16-cv-01035). The complaints assert three unified communications patents (8,339,997; 9,094,525; 9,253,332), targeting the defendants’ audio/video conferencing platforms (i.e., Citrix’s GoToMeeting, LogMeIn’s Join.me, Polycom’s RealPresence Collaboration Server). ITUS has launched this new litigation campaign despite its recent claims that it is moving away from patent assertion as a form of revenue.
