Stragent Hits Same Automakers in Fresh Round of Suits, as BMW Seeks Attorney Fees in Last One

April 20, 2020

Stragent, LLC has kept its only active litigation campaign alive, filing new suits against three familiar defendants: BMW (1:20-cv-00510), Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) (1:20-cv-00511), and Zhejiang Geely (Volvo) (1:20-cv-00512), all in the District of Delaware. The four asserted patents, generally related to a distributed system for communicating information in an “automotive electronic control unit”, are the more recent members of an eight-patent family, earlier members of which were asserted against the same three defendants in 2016 cases in the Eastern District of Texas, where the court is currently considering a motion to award attorney fees against Stragent. The defendants are targeted, again, over their provision of automobiles with electronic control units (ECUs) that feature AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) technology.
