Heart Rate Monitoring Wearables at Issue in New Dominion Harbor Campaign

May 18, 2018

Four months after RPX noted the assignment of eight patents from Impact Sports Technologies to Health Watch, LLC, the latter has kicked off a litigation campaign, suing Huawei (2:18-cv-00209) and Samsung (2:18-cv-00210) in the Eastern District of Texas.

Health Watch’s new complaints allege that “[o]ther heart rate monitor products, before the innovations of Impact Sports, either required a chest belt, were not continuous, or were inaccurate or inconvenient during exercise or daily activities”, the following paragraphs of the pleading replete with references to the common specification for purported inventive aspects of the asserted patents’ claims.
