All Quiet on the PTAB Front, VCA Returns to West Texas

Virtual Creative Artists, LLC (VCA) has filed a new complaint against Alphabet (Google) (6:23-cv-00197), asserting four patents described as generally related to “creating and distributing media content”. The case, filed in the Western District of Texas, targets the provision of Google Photos. A March 2022 suit in the same campaign filed in the same district against Meta Platforms (f/k/a Facebook) ended last December after a noticed settlement, while a complaint filed earlier that month against Twitter remains pending, in the earliest stages, in the Northern District of Illinois.
