Broadphone Launches First Litigation, Suing Samsung in the Eastern District of Texas

January 6, 2023

Broadphone, LLC has sued Samsung (2:23-cv-00001) in a new Eastern District of Texas case. The complaint targets Samsung over the provision of “certain Android devices that include the Samsung Reminder app and/or support tracking, locating, and navigating to the location of Samsung SmartTag devices, Samsung SmartThings devices, or Samsung Android devices”, doing so with three patents generally related to determining the location of a device based on the relative signal strength for each of a plurality of nearby, identified “antenna stations”, and determining whether the device is within the proximity of a “device-specific target location”. Other patents naming the same inventor are already in suit in a separate campaign, which has also hit Samsung.
