Numic Technology, LLC v. Sonim Technologies, Inc. DC

Numic Technology, LLC, one of the many NPEs controlled by Daniel F. Perez, has added four new defendants to its wireless camera campaign. The Texas-based NPE has filed suit against BLU Products (2:16-cv-00079), Sonim Technologies (2:16-cv-00080), TCL (TCT Mobile, dba Alcatel OneTouch) (2:16-cv-00081), and ZTE (2:16-cv-00078) for the infringement of eight patents in the Eastern District of Texas. Numic began this litigation campaign, its first and only one to date, with a lawsuit against Nikon (2:15-cv-01046) in June 2015, asserting a single patent (5,969,698) also included in its newest filings. The NPE dismissed its case against Nikon with prejudice in late October 2015, while the other cases remain active and in the early stages. The accused products have included smartphones and tablets.
