As Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a Shodogg) and Alphabet (Google) prepare for a trial this month before Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright, the plaintiff has filed three new cases, this time in the Eastern District of Texas. The defendants are Altice (2:23-cv-00060), Charter Communications (2:23-cv-00059), and Comcast (2:23-cv-00062). A single patent—one of the three in suit against Google—is trained on the provision of cable TV set-top boxes in operation with corresponding mobile apps. Per Shodogg, its patents arose from their named inventor’s mid-2010 perception of “the need to be able to take videos that could be viewed on a smaller device, like a smartphone, and ‘move’ them to a larger screen, like a computer monitor or television”.
