ARIGNA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED v. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. et al DC

Atlantic IP Services Limited has begun litigating the former Siemens patents that it received from a Fortress Investment Group LLC vehicle this past October. The Dublin-based monetization firm’s Ollnova Technologies Limited has filed suit against Alphabet (Google) (6:22-cv-00246) in the Western District of Texas, Carrier (9:22-cv-80388) in the Southern District of Florida, and ecobee (2:22-cv-00072) in the Eastern District of Texas, targeting the respective provision of various smart home products (primarily thermostats) with overlapping subsets of five such former Siemens patents. With these suits, Ollnova joins eight other Atlantic IP entities to litigate former operating company assets, including Arigna Technology Limited, which recently added a case against TCL (6:22-cv-00217) to one of its many such campaigns, and Sonraí Memory Limited, which just hit AMD (6:22-cv-00229) with a former Atmel patent following additional lawsuits filed against existing defendants Amazon (6:22-cv-00225), Dell (6:22-cv-00188), Kingston Technology (6:22-cv-00192), LG Electronics (LGE) (6:22-cv-00187), and Samsung (6:22-cv-00189).

The mobile devices campaign of Arigna Technology Limited has snagged another defendant, BBK Electronics (OnePlus) (6:21-cv-01145), sued last week in the Western District of Texas. Various OnePlus smartphones are targeted with the same two patents-in-campaign, one received from Microchip Technology and the other from Mitsubishi Electric. Infringement allegations again focus on the alleged incorporation of the Qualcomm HG-11PG660-200 RF die semiconductor device, as well as the Qualcomm SDR865 transceiver and/or Skyworks SKY58258-11 front-end module. A September case against both Apple and Samsung and separate October suits against Alphabet (Google) and LG Electronics (LGE) remain in early stages.

Arigna Technology Limited has added separate cases against Alphabet (Google) (6:21-cv-01045) and LG Electronics (LGE) (2:21-cv-00377) to the litigation campaign that it began last month with a single Western District of Texas complaint against both Apple and Samsung. Again targeted, with the same two patents, is the incorporation into certain smartphones and tablets of the Qualcomm HG-11PG660-200 RF die semiconductor device (allegedly installed in the Qualcomm QTM525 mmWave antenna module), as well as the Qualcomm SDR865 transceiver and QPM5670 front-end module (FEM) (Google) or Skyworks SKY58258-11 FEM (LGE).

Arigna Technology Limited, one of several plaintiffs associated with Dublin-based patent monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited, has launched another litigation campaign in 2021, after three in a row targeting automotive defendants. The NPE has sued Apple and Samsung (6:21-cv-00943) together in a single Western District of Texas complaint targeting the alleged inclusion of Qualcomm’s HG11-PG660-200 RF die semiconductor device, as well as certain front-end modules (FEMs) and transceivers, within certain smartphones and tablets of the defendants. The plaintiff asserts two patents, one originating with Microchip Technology and the other from Mitsubishi Electric, characterized in the new complaint as generally related to “power semiconductor devices using high-frequency RF signals for use in mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers”.
