December 2022 was the first month in about seven years that saw no patent case filed by a plaintiff with apparent ties to Texas monetization firm IP Edge LLC. IP Edge has been the top filer, by orders of magnitude, for several years running, but the “Series of Extraordinary Events” unfolding before Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly seems to have ground the firm’s filing patterns to a halt. January 2023 seems to have extended the pause, although it did see one case affirmatively filed by an apparent IP Edge plaintiff. That one case, however, is the third time for this particular plaintiff—and it was certainly no charm.
