“Preeminent Security Researcher” Creates New LLC, Moves Patents, Tags Apple
Bjorn Markus Jakobsson has moved patents around, from prior plaintiff RightQuestion LLC to Carbyne LLC this past December and then from Carbyne to Carbyne Biometrics, LLC just last week. Carbyne Biometrics has accused Apple (1:23-cv-00324) of infringing six of those received assets—three characterized as “Authentication Patents” and three, as the “Fraud Reduction Patents”—in a new Western District of Texas complaint that targets the provision of “all of its M-series Macs and A-series iOS devices”. At issue is its authentication framework, comprised of the Secure Enclave, Face ID, Touch ID, and related tools (e.g., the Apple Cash fraud prevention tools). One of the six patents appeared in an Eastern District of Texas case between RightQuestion and Samsung that ended in July 2022.
