Defendant Count in Rothschild’s QR Code Campaign Nears 60

July 22, 2016

Symbology Innovations, LLC’s latest suits, filed against Best Buy, Brother Industries, NextEra Energy, PGA Tour, and Sysco (Freshpoint), bring the total number of defendants in the NPE’s QR (quick response) codes campaign to 57. As in all of Symbology’s previous cases, this week’s complaints assert three patents (8,936,190; 8,651,369; 8,424,752) from a family of five generally related to using a mobile device to take a picture of an object having “symbology” from which information about the object can be retrieved from a remote server.
