Longitude Licensing Limited has added suits against Acer (8:23-cv-00036), Amazon (8:23-cv-00039), ASUSTek (8:23-cv-00033), HP (8:23-cv-00038), and Lenovo (8:23-cv-00035) in the Central District of California to the case that Longitude filed last month against Dell in the same district. Each targets the provision or sale of Western Digital-branded memory components (e.g., flash memory, solid state drives, and memory chips), as well as products (e.g., computers, laptops, streaming devices, and tablets) incorporating such devices. In its complaints, the plaintiff pleads that in light of failed attempts to engage Western Digital in licensing negotiations, it began “contacting Western Digital customers who are selling products that infringe Longitude patents”.
