Backertop Licensing LLC, a plaintiff apparently associated with Texas monetization firm IP Edge LLC, has filed its first litigation, suing Assa Abloy (August Home) (1:22-cv-00573), Hampton Products (1:22-cv-00574), Smartfrog (Canary Connect) (1:22-cv-00572), and Wyze Labs (1:22-cv-00570) over the provision of certain smart home security products (e.g., cameras and locks) and related software products. At issue are features including auto-lock and unlock and home/away modes. A group of former IBM patents, acquired from another NPE, are at issue in these new complaints, which, while filed in the District of Delaware, have yet to be assigned a judge.
