In November 2022, Empire IP LLC plaintiff IoT Innovations LLC filed its first litigation over patents acquired from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV) just five months prior, suing Monitronics International (d/b/a Brinks Home) in the Eastern District of Texas. Now, the plaintiff has filed a District of Massachusetts complaint against SimpliSafe (1:23-cv-10352), asserting six patents—five of which are new to the litigation—broadly directed to various aspects of networking and natural language processing. The defendant is accused of infringement through the provision of its home security platform and related products (e.g., its mobile app, base stations, cameras, keypads, sensors, and smoke detectors).
