Link Engine Technologies LLC, which is managed by the founders of Empire IP LLC, has kicked off its first litigation campaign. In four separate complaints filed on October 3-4, the NPE asserted a network browsing patent (7,480,694) against Funny Or Die Media (2:16-cv-01071), M. Roberts Media (2:16-cv-01076), NYP Holdings (2:16-cv-01083), and IAC/Interactive (Vimeo) (2:16-cv-01070), accusing the companies’ video sharing websites of infringement. While this week’s suits are Link Engine’s first, Empire IP affiliates have collectively filed over 400 patent infringement cases since 2011.
