VIAAS, Inc., a company spun out of Barracuda Networks in 2017, has filed five cases in the Western District of Texas, one against each of ADT (6:22-cv-cv-01046), Alphabet (Google) (6:22-cv-cv-01048), Amazon (Ring) (6:22-cv-cv-01041), APT Group Holdings (Vivint Smart Home) (6:22-cv-cv-01052), and Cisco (6:22-cv-cv-01047). The pair of asserted patents generally relate to using a camera to capture, store, and securely transmit “events of interest”, with the defendants targeted over the provision of smart home cameras and security systems.
