Auto Companies Targeted By New Campaign Involving Battery Patent

February 18, 2015

Somaltus LLC’s inaugural litigation campaign targets automotive companies Auto Meter Products (2:15-cv-00201), Bosch Automotive (2:15-cv-00202), Cadex Electronics (2:15-cv-00203), Ford (2:15-cv-00204), and Nissan (2:15-cv-00205). The five suits in the new campaign assert a single patent related to a battery system (7,657,386). At issue in the complaints is car battery testing and monitoring equipment sold by defendants. The patent-in-suit originated with Snap-On Equipment LTD, an operating company that sells automotive equipment and that transferred the asserted patent to TT IP in 2008. The complaint states that Somaltus now owns the patent-in-suit although there is no recorded assignment to the entity.
