Ollnova Technologies Limited, a plaintiff associated with Dublin-based monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited, has expanded the litigation campaign that it began last month, suing Emerson Electric (Verdant Environmental Technologies) (6:22-cv-00358) and Resideo Technologies (6:22-cv-00390) in separate Western District of Texas complaints. The campaign targets the provision of smart thermostats with five former Siemens patents. Meanwhile, prior defendant ecobee has responded to the March 2022 complaint against it with a motion to dismiss on Alice grounds, as well as with a motion to transfer for convenience, from East Texas to West Texas, focusing its brief on Ollnova’s litigation counsel, Russ August & Kabat (“RAK”). Per ecobee, that law firm “has an extensive history of suing ecobee, Google and other smart thermostat companies on behalf of its clients in the Western District of Texas”, with the defendant further asserting that “since 2019 ecobee and Google alone have litigated at least 13 cases against RAK in the Western District”.
