Affinity Labs of Texas [NPE] filed suit against Clear Channel Broadcasting, alleging that Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio platform infringes a patent related to delivering regionally broadcasted content to an electronic device.  Affinity Labs has filed nine prior suits since August 2008 against over 20 defendants including Apple. In August 2008, Affinity Labs filed suit against over 10 companies, which resulted in a damage award of $14 million against KIA, Volkswagen, and Hyundai.  Russel White is the co-founder of Affinity Labs as well as a named inventor on the patent-in-suit, which was issued in June 2011.  This is the first time the patent-in-suit has been asserted in litigation.  3/6, Western District of Texas, 1:2012cv00205.
