This past week, Valve Corporation filed a Western District of Washington complaint (2:23-cv-01016) naming as defendants prolific inventor and plaintiff Leigh M. Rothschild and three associated entities Display Technologies, LLC; Patent Asset Management, LLC; and Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems, LLC (RBDS), together with Rothschild counsel Meyler Legal, PLLC and its principal Samuel Meyler. Valve pleads claims of bad-faith patent assertion and unfair business practices under the Washington State Consumer Protection Act, arising via demands sent to Valve concerning the alleged infringement of patents that Valve pleads are covered by a 2016 license agreement with Display Technologies. Valve also pleads breach of contract, further asking the court for declaratory judgments, one for invalidity and another for unenforceability. Materials attached to Valve’s complaint suggest that the universe of “demands” from Rothschild-tied entities extends beyond those from the defendants named here.
