Named Inventor Brings Whole Family to Bear in Mobile Device Unlocking Litigation
Last September, individual named inventor Seungman Kim sued Samsung in the Eastern District of Texas, asserting seven patents generally related to bypassing a “security mode” of a mobile device when certain conditions associated with a “safe zone” are met. Kim added an eighth patent to that case by an amended complaint filed in mid-March and has now filed a second case in the same district against Samsung (2:23-cv-00155), this time asserting six more patents, also broadly directing to unlocking mobile devices. The new complaint targets Lift to Wake, Face Unlock, and On-Body Detection functionalities in Samsung smartphones and tablets.
