RPX recently noted that a “Puzzling Pair of ‘Vilox’ Plaintiffs File[d] New Suits in West Texas” (December 2022). A “Vilox Technologies, LLC” and a “Vilox, LLC”—each claiming to be a Texas LLC but neither appearing to exist—attempted to extend an inventor-controlled campaign over a previously litigated patent family generally related to searching a database through “descriptors” that correspond to a “data category”. The pair of putative plaintiffs did so by suing Oracle and Salesforce in separate Western District of Texas complaints. Oracle has now responded—with a complaint of its own, this one filed under seal in the District of Delaware (1:23-cv-00126).
