AML IP LLC has filed suit in the Western District of Texas against Alphabet (Google) (6:23-cv-00248) over support on its online hardware store for making purchases using PayPal. The single e-commerce patent asserted is subject to multiple pending Alice motions. District Judge Alan D. Albright denied such a motion filed, before Markman, as premature, but a new set of motions has been filed in the wake of that court’s November 2022 claim construction ruling. Meanwhile, cases against three retailers have been stayed in the Eastern District of Texas to await resolution by District Court Sean D. Jordan of parallel Alice motions there. Throughout, the abstract idea to which the claims of the asserted patent are allegedly directed is “facilitating economic transactions between two parties using a third-party intermediary”.
