On April 6, 2022, Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright dismissed with prejudice the inaugural case in the dating app campaign of Wireless Discovery LLC. One week later, the inventor-controlled plaintiff shifted venues, suing Coffee Meets Bagel (1:22-cv-00478), Down APP (1:22-cv-00479), HILY (1:22-cv-00482), The League App (1:22-cv-00483), ParshipMeet (eHarmony, The Meet Group) (1:22-cv-00480, 1:22-cv-00484), San Vicente (Grindr) (1:22-cv-00481), and Zoosk (1:22-cv-00485), all in the District of Delaware. While the number of defendants sued has jumped in this campaign, the number of patents asserted has dropped, from four to just one.
