US Patents Continue to Roll out of IV…to NPEs, to OpCos, and to Court

May 25, 2019

Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV) has been divesting patent assets at an accelerating rate over the past couple of years, in batches both big and small. For example, as reported this week, Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC affiliate Vista Peak Ventures, LLC continues to assert a subset of over 1,200 former NEC patents that the NPE acquired from IV last year, and, as reported just last week, IV transferred a more modest set of patents, numbering around 50, to Steephill Technologies LLC, which passed them immediately along to Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. in apparent preparation for assertion. That assertion is simply “apparent” no longer. This week, Cedar Lane has accused Advert Tech (1:19-cv-03442) of infringing three of those patents in a new complaint filed in the Northern District of Illinois targeting the provision of Ex++ Series Network Cameras such as the “Long Range Bullet Camera”.
