Hanger Solutions LLC v. CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC DC

USPTO records indicate that in March, an IP Investments Group LLC (d/b/a IPInvestments Group) NPE holding thousands of former Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV) patent assets assigned more than 150 US grants to an NPE associated with Equitable IP Corporation. A couple of those patents have since been transferred to yet another Equitable IP entity, likely in preparation for assertion in a new campaign.

Hanger Solutions, LLC, an IP Investments Group LLC (d/b/a IPInvestments Group) NPE, has added a case against Altice (Cequel Communications) (6:22-cv-00330) to the litigation campaign that it began in January 2021 with a suit against Extreme Networks. The defendant is accused of infringing five wireless communications patents—two of which are new to litigation—through the provision of the Suddenlink Internet service’s “Website Infrastructure”, as well as its use of certain VMware products.

Hanger Solutions, LLC, an IP Investments Group LLC (d/b/a IPInvestments Group) NPE, has sued Charter Communications (6:22-cv-00070) in the Western District of Texas over the provision of Spectrum Web Services and certain VMware products. Asserted are the same three patents in Delaware complaints filed against Extreme Networks (last January) and Squarespace (last May). The new complaint appears to be a draft document, rather than a finished document, with alleged, inadvertent transpositions in pleadings filed by Hanger’s “sister” NPE DataCloud Technologies, LLC already featuring rather prominently in that campaign.
