More Wireless Earbuds Targeted in New Campaign

Google Pixel Buds (8:19-cv-1840) and Samsung Gear IconX (8:19-cv-01856) earbuds have joined Apple’s AirPods and Powerbeats Pro as accused products in the new litigation campaign of inventor-controlled Pinn, Inc. Two weeks ago, Pinn began asserting a single patent generally related to interaction between “wireless earbuds” (housed in “main body”) and a smartphone in a Central District of California case against Apple, adding separate suits in the same venue against Alphabet (Google) and Samsung this past week. The plaintiff has also alleged infringement of up to two published applications related to the patent-in-suit.
