Non-Existent Texas Silent Sues over a Patent That a Tel Aviv Silent Assigned to an Illinois Silent

March 15, 2022

A “Silent Communications, LLC”, purportedly a Texas entity, has sued BlackBerry (6:22-cv-00252) in the Western District of Texas over a patent generally related to the access, integration, and display of information from social networking sites by a mobile device. The patent has been litigated before—by Mobile Synergy Solutions, LLC (MSS), an NPE associated with Texas monetization firm Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC. A “Silent Communications, Inc.”, also purportedly a Texas entity, attempted to assert the same patent against BlackBerry last year—that case fizzled, perhaps given that the only company by that name in Texas lost its charter in that state in August 1999. Similar self-identity problems may persist, as Texas state records contain no “Silent Communications, LLC” today.
