In Streaming Protocols Campaign, Nimitz Fires Off Second Round as First-Round Defendant Raises Alice
Nimitz Technologies LLC has added Delaware cases against Buzzfeed (1:21-cv-01362), Conde Nast (1:21-cv-01360), Skillshare (1:21-cv-01363), and Twitter (1:21-cv-01364) to the four suits that the apparent IP Edge LLC plaintiff filed to kick this campaign off at the end of August in the same district. The plaintiff targets support for the HLS streaming protocol in the defendants’ respective websites with a single patent received from France Brevets SAS this past March. One of the four prior defendants has already filed a motion to dismiss challenging that patent under Alice, as patent-ineligibly drawn to the abstract idea of “assigning values to identify data streams corresponding to different versions of content”.
