January 13, 2023

Inventor-controlled plaintiff Innovaport LLC (f/k/a PatentBank LLC) has sued Best Buy (3:23-cv-00016) over the provision of mobile apps and websites that support features for informing customers of the availability and location of products within a retail store. Four patents, each naming John T. Pienkos—an apparent “inventor, author, and practicing patent attorney in Milwaukee, Wisconsin”—as the sole inventor, are asserted in the new Western District of Wisconsin complaint. They generally relate to providing, through a mobile device, the location information of a product within a store.
