Aurelian IP Management, LLC v. Fair Isaac Corporation DC

Aurelian IP Management, LLC, an NPE affiliated with IP Valuation Partners LLC (IPVal), has filed three new complaints, one each against Linguamatics Solutions (2:17-cv-00209), Open Text (2:17-cv-00210), and SAS Institute (2:17-cv-00211). A single patent (6,272,495), generally related to processing free-format data to improve data management and integration, has been asserted throughout Aurelian IP’s campaign, which began in April 2016. The accused products are the defendants’ data inspection tools: Linguamatics I2E, OpenText Content Analytics, and SAS Information Retrieval Studio.

Amid a flurry of NPE creation and patent transfers, two affiliates of IP Valuation Partners LLC (IPVal) have added cases to campaigns launched earlier this year. Aurelian IP Management, LLC has filed suit against Fair Isaac (2:16-cv-01063), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) (2:16-cv-01064), and Oracle (2:16-cv-01065), accusing each of infringing a single patent (6,272,495) generally related to processing free-form data. The managing member of Aurelian IP is IPVal principal, Jonathan Szarzynski, whose colleague Adam Baumli is identified as the managing member of Retrospection Marketing LLC, the other affiliate that just added more cases, on the same day, to its own campaign. Retrospection Marketing filed suit against Best Buy (2:16-cv-01067), Kohl’s (2:16-cv-01068), and Wal-Mart (2:16-cv-01069), asserting the single patent-in-campaign (7,296,062), generally related to the display of information through a network, against the retailers’ e-commerce websites.

Two new cases filed by Aurelian IP Management, LLC assert for the first time in litigation a single patent (6,272,495) generally related to inspecting free-format data to improve data management and integration. Aurelian accuses Coveo Software (2:16-cv-00453) and SAP (2:16-cv-00454) of infringing the patent-in-suit through their data inspection platforms (Coveo Platform and SAP Hana).
