VideoLabs, Inc. v. HP Inc. DC

VideoLabs, Inc. has filed a pair of complaints against HP, one in the Western District of Texas (6:22-cv-01086) and another before the International Trade Commission (ITC) (337-TA-3650). These new pleadings follow complaints filed both in district court and before the ITC earlier this year against Acer, ASUSTek, Lenovo (Motorola Mobility), and Micro-Star International, with the three patents asserted against HP also in suit against the prior defendants. VideoLabs targets the HP Envy x360 15 and Victus-series laptops over their alleged support of certain video codecs, including H.264 (AVC), H.265 (HEVC), VP9, and/or AV1.

The day after VideoLabs, Inc. filed Western District of Texas suits against Acer, ASUSTek, Lenovo (Motorola Mobility) and Micro-Star International, the NPE filed a complaint before the International Trade Commission (ITC) against those same defendants. That complaint targets the same feature set, related to video/audio coding and screen rotation, within the same variety of accused devices (e.g., computers, smart displays, smartphones, tablets), with the same four patents. VideoLabs pleads a domestic industry based on its activities combined with a confidential list of licensees.
