Xerox Takes Aim at Patent Holder’s NPE Status in Growing Monument Peak Ventures Campaign, While Another NPE Plaintiff Wields PARC Patents

May 10, 2020

Monument Peak Ventures, LLC (MPV)—an NPE associated with monetization firm Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC—has continued to assert patents from a large portfolio of former Eastman Kodak assets received from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV), filing a new suit targeting various models of security cameras and security systems of Robert Bosch (Bosch Security Systems) (1:20-cv-00611). The case follows a Xerox complaint filed roughly ten days ago seeking declaratory judgments of noninfringement as to eight MPV patents, a complaint in which Xerox asserts that MPV is “no innovator”, characterizing it as an NPE with an “opportunistic” monetization strategy (6:20-cv-06263). The day before Xerox filed its complaint, Corrino Holdings LLC—an NPE associated with monetization firm IPValuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal)—kept its sole litigation campaign alive, filing suit against Expedia (6:20-cv-00309) over patents from a portfolio also received from IV—a portfolio including assets that Palo Alto Research Corporation (PARC), a Xerox subsidiary, assigned to IV in May 2015.
