Speech Recognition Campaign Adds Three New Suits

November 13, 2014

Cedatech Holdings, LLC filed its second round of suits, suing Hewlett-Packard and LGE, in the same campaign it began earlier this year. One patent is asserted in the campaign, and it relates to embedding audio or video within an application (7,707,591). Speech recognition programs on devices made and/or sold by the defendants are accused of infringing the patent-in-suit. Similar products were accused in Cedatech’s first round of filings, against Apple, Dell, and HTC. Those suits, filed in July of this year, are still active. Cedatech was incorporated in May 2014 and lists a virtual office used by other NPEs, including Droplets, Innovative Wireless Solutions, and RPost, as its address. According to USPTO records, Cedatech owns a second patent not asserted in litigation (7,937,443). Both patents originated with Talkway, Inc. and were assigned to Cedatech in July 2014. 11/10, Eastern District of Texas, 2:14cv01023, 2:14cv01024
