Touch Screen Patents Asserted Against Toshiba, VIZIO

July 22, 2014

Global Touch Solutions (GTS), an entity created in September 2012, filed its first suits naming Toshiba and VIZIO as defendants. The suit accuses defendants’ devices that include a touch screen, including laptops computers, tablets, and televisions of infringing the three patents-in-suit (7,265,494, 7,329,970, 7,498,749). The asserted patents relate to a user interface for a touch sensor, and they originated with Azoteq, an operating company that sells capacitive touch technology. RPX reviewed the patents-in-suit as part of an open market opportunity in December 2011 (Azoteq-Acq). They were transferred to GTS in April 2013. GTS is a subsidiary of Golden Wave Partners Company LTD. The company also owns Infinite Data LLC and Safe Storage LLC, both entities that have filed a number of infringement lawsuits against operating companies in the last few years. 7/9, Eastern District of Virginia, 2:14cv00346, 2:14cv00347
