Pantaurus, LLC v. Harris Corporation

IP Edge LLC affiliate MagnaCross LLC has filed a fresh round of lawsuits, capping off a wave of year-end litigation by other NPEs also controlled by the prolific monetization firm. The latest MagnaCross complaints target Avaya (2:16-cv-01461), Comtrend (2:16-cv-01462), EnGenius (2:16-cv-01463), Huawei (2:16-cv-01464), Juniper Networks (2:16-cv-01465), Siemens (2:16-cv-01466), and Sierra Wireless (2:16-cv-01467), accusing the companies of infringing a single patent (6,917,304) generally related to wireless data transmission through the provision of wireless access points or routers.

March not to be outdone by February, PanTaurus LLC has filed a seventh wave of litigation in its secure data storage campaign, suing Harris Corporation (2:16-cv-00178), Motorola Solutions (2:16-cv-00179), Pitney Bowes (2:16-cv-00180), Pulse Secure (2:16-cv-00181), Vormetric (2:16-cv-00182), and WatchData Technologies (2:16-cv-00183). The complaints in the campaign assert a single patent (6,272,533) generally related to a computer-based data storage system with a manually operable read/write switch for data protection. The NPE’s complaints call attention to claim 29, which recites a “switch operable to selectively enable and disable at least one of said operating modes” without the “manually operative” limitation.
