BMW and Mercedes-Benz Added to Equitable IP’s Automobile Campaign

August 4, 2022

Michigan Motor Technologies LLC (MMT), an entity associated with Equitable IP Corporation, has resumed its sole litigation campaign with suits against BMW (1:22-cv-03804) and Mercedes-Benz (1:22-cv-03957) in the Northern District of Illinois. The seven asserted patents generally relate to various aspects of motor mechanics (e.g., systems for controlling fuel injection, fuel rail pressure, power consumption, throttles, and valve timing). BMW is accused of infringement through the provision of automobiles that incorporate the BMW 2.0L I4 N20 engine; Mercedes-Benz, through automobiles that incorporate the M176, M177, and M178 engines, as well as electric vehicles with displays that show power consumption information.
