ASUS (1:16-cv-00576), Bank of America (1:16-cv-00574), Cisco (1:16-cv-00577), IBM (1:16-cv-00578), and Ericsson (1:16-cv-00575) are the latest defendants to be added to the litigation campaign of Digital Audio Encoding Systems, LLC (DAES). A single digital signal encoding patent (7,490,037) is at issue, with the latest defendants accused of infringement through the manufacture and sale of Android devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables, etc.) pre-installed with Google Music Play (ASUS and Ericsson) or the use of Cisco’s WebEx collaboration product (Bank of America, Cisco, and IBM). DAES is one of multiple entities recently formed by Erik Stamell, four of which have so far launched litigation.
