On February 17, 2023, Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright heard oral arguments related to a sealed motion filed by Amazon (and subsidiary eero) challenging the standing of plaintiff TrackThings LLC to bring a July 2021 lawsuit against them. Redacted versions of the briefs suggest that the parties agree that TrackThings owned the three asserted patents as of May 7, 2014 but that a May 12, 2014 agreement covering rights to those patents surfaced during discovery. However that hearing before Judge Albright went, that same day, TrackThings filed a new Western District of Texas complaint against Amazon and eero (6:23-cv-00133) largely tracking the things alleged in the prior case. Meanwhile, in TrackThings’s other suit, active against NETGEAR in the District of Delaware, the plaintiff faces an Alice challenge.
