As anticipated, Texas NPE 5G IP Holdings LLC, an entity associated with monetization firm IPValuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal), has filed its first lawsuit over a portfolio of former FG Innovation Company Ltd. (f/k/a FG IP Innovation Company Ltd.) (FGI) patents. The NPE accuses Samsung (4:21-cv-00622) of infringing three of them, pleading that the wireless communications patents have been declared essential to the 5G Standard, the “promise” of which—“increased bandwidth and lowered latency”—FGI’s technology purportedly helped to “deliver”. The accused products are Samsung’s smartphones and tablets, the new complaint identifying a list of Galaxy-branded products.
