Software Development Kit Campaign Sees Fresh Wave of Suits

The last of its January 2019 wave of cases having ended in dismissals in late April, Lucio Development LLC has sued Ambiq Micro (1:19-cv-00661), Ittiam Systems (6:19-cv-00282), Microsoft (6:19-cv-00283), Renesas Electronics (1:19-cv-00663), and Windbond Electronics (Nuvoton Technology) (1:19-cv-00662) over the same embedded software patent. Throughout the campaign, the NPE has targeted the defendants’ provision of software development kits (SDKs) (e.g., Microsoft’s Azure IoT Hub software development kit).
